Disappointing a wasted story

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2014)

Jack o Connell is the one shining light from what is otherwise a very disappointing film. I had looked forward to watching this film for a while but left the cinema feeling Angelina Jolie had managed to produce a Hollywood blockbuster which from a cinematic point of view did nothing to push the boundaries.
The film is purely worth watching for the story of this incredible individual but one can't help but feel that if given to a more established/talented director it could have been a really gripping and momentous picture.
My advise would be to save your money and read the book. Jolies talent is In front of the camera rather than behind.
What a shame.
