Lifeless

Rating: 4/10 (25 April 2015)

So I rented Unbroken to watch with the family. Thought it would be an inspiring heartfelt movie. The back story-the true story of Louie Zamparini is awesome. The movie? Lifeless. The only thing that set my emotions was the shark. Poor shark. I'm thinking really? Some shark's just swimming around and then bam! Shot by a fighter plane. Anyways. The actors? I had no emotional connection to at all. I think this is an amazing story and in the hands of a more experienced director this movie could've been way better. I don't mean to bash on Angelina Jolie. I think she's great for bringing this story to life but maybe she needed a little more direction herself. So I'll give it 4 out of 10. Could've been less but the real story behind this movie deserves stars.
