Strong will

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2015)

This is based on a true story and it makes it almost unbearable to watch at times, if you actually think about that while the movie is running. But while the scale seems immense, as another reviewer pointed out, sometimes the movie seems awfully bland. And it has nothing to do with cinematography or the acting.
The ordeal of our main character begins at a certain point and seems not stop. While everything is happening and some other characters seem very evil (almost to a comic degree), the will of our protagonist never seems to sway. Something that is needed for the viewer to stay attached, especially during some horrible things that happen. A tour de force that seemed enticing enough for Angelina Jolie to get her hands on it
