Don't like it.

Rating: 4/10 (22 April 2016)

Somebody said it's a great human story which was not expressed the right way. My personal opinion is movie was too long and unvaried. Half of it is at these boats, other half at Japanese lagers, showing all and the same. These flicker moments about his past were interesting but not enough to make movie good, nothing to catch my attention. It could be done much much better. Moment from their arrest to releasing them we only saw beating him, breaking his nose, repeating, it wasn't easy to watch but nothing special. And I actually could not understand why Lui confronted Watanabe so passionately. He wasn't the person who could change the system there, provoking Watanabe was just stupid, not heroic act. He could keep his mouth shut and be safe. And I think nobody got Watanabe's point, Miyavi played the character excellent by the way. Watanabe just wanted to be priced, even by the enemy American soldier. They say only weak person is able to do violence against someone else. Lui's insubordination made him mad but the fact Lui never shown even little respect to him was the big deal. And the ridiculous thing was he never gained anything from it. I expected more, maybe that was the problem, and I think movie is so high priced because of Angelina's part in it, not because the movie itself.
