Pretty decent to be honest

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2020)

I'm actually quite shocked how much I liked this!
I actually thought this was going to be quite mediocre (especially as jolie is directing!) but it doesn't Surprisingly disappoint, I know you have probably looked upon here for reviews and seen quite a few people slate it..(some reasons make sense) but it's not one to miss.
Incredible story and pretty well acted, the brutal aspect was not missed and didn't shy away from the reality. Some films you can end up quite bored or looking at your watch half way through but no need for this one
Now it could be improved on little areas like the post war years, the ptsd, the Japanese commander not wanting to see him again, his forgiveness but apart from those aspects it's decent.
