Inspirational and superbly crafted picture

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Unbroken" (2014) is a superbly crafted movie by a very talented people behind the camera. In script department you have Coen brothers and two other heavyweights - and it feels here - script is believable (yes, i know it's based on true life and adapted from a book), involving and inspiring but not overdone. Cinematography by a legendary Roger Deakins (who was nominated for 12 Oscars in his carrier!) is superb, gorgeous, capturing everything from wide and tight angles and has this classical feel of the movies - "Unbroken" has to witnessed on the big screen. The actors, who most are little known did a great job. When you have this kind of material and this caliber of people in front and behind the camera, it's a difficult job to fail, and a second time director Angelina Jolie does a descent job in keeping the pacing so well, that at the running time 2 h 14 min this movie almost never drags and is very good.
Overall, "Unbroken" is a superbly told magnificent true story. It has all the right ingredients for a good movie, and good movie it is. It's very inspiring and shows that you must never let go, no matter how bad things can look, there is always an answer to everything.
