Who the killer is writing these reviews?

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2015)

While not great this was a darn good film. Powerful and emotionally compelling. At times difficult to watch. This movie is like stepping into a WWII reality film. Perhaps it comes from having worked with the Japanese Military and a Watanabe no less! Perhaps it's from having an Uncle who died flying the B-25. Perhaps it was because Zamperini came from a very similar background as my Dad's family. Here is a story of *real* emotional and physical triumph over *real* ethnic and racial hatred. Well acted, I didn't think you could make a film that made me glad we nuked 'em. This film did: and simultaneously made me ashamed of the work I did to help the Japanese. Good acting, costumes and cinematography. Yeah the Director could have left a little more on the cutting room floor. But you're going to rate it a 2 because the Director was a little long winded? Get real, and watch this film.
