It Really Wasn't That Bad.

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2015)

"Unbroken" is probably one of the best films Angelina Jolie produced and directed. It shows how Louis Zamperini's (Jack O'Connell) strong will to win and survive carries him through the toughest punishments of his military life. I read a lot of negative reviews on this film saying it lacked emotion, feeling, and no character growth, I admit it wasn't a Steven Spielberg kind of World War II film but it wasn't bad. It probably just needed a little more action to make it a better film but I don't think that's what the writers intended. To me the story line and plot came together to make a pretty decent film. The acting wasn't bad either. The characters were pretty convincing. My favorite character was Watanabe (Miyavi). After dealing with the open sea for 47 days Watanabe (Miyavi) was Louis Zamperini's (Jack O'Connell) next hurdle in surviving the war. These two characters' interactions pretty much made the second half of the film. Like I said, I didn't think it was as bad as some reviewers said it was. My wife doesn't even like these kind of films and she ended up liking it.
