Watchable and not to disturbing .

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2015)

This movie was carrying to many expectations for some viewers,the author who reportedly wrote an outstanding narrative of the events as they happened.( I have not read the book). The second expectation was that of Angelina Jolie who is an accomplished actor with many credits to her name,the. Fact she co produced this movie with three others is testament to her acknowledging her short coming ,with a preparedness to learn. For two hours was I entranced? No but I did enjoy the motion of the story leading up to the search and then loss , which culminated in their capture. The loss at sea was as captivating in it self as other parts of the narrative. The capture and incarceration was sinister enough without the necessity of brutalizing every move , one thing led to another but not necessarily all that predictable. The acting , dialog, costumes were all that was required to get a good yarn over the line without being morbid, as the story simply put is about courage and survival in the face of adversity yes I did enjoy the film.
