Best way to describe my experience with this film is to put it this way imagine ordering a shot of the best Kentucky bourbon only to discover upon tasting it had been watered down!
It's watchable but if you're looking for an emotionally meaningful film it missed that boat by a mile!
Review by Scott Anderson ★★ 30

Over a decade ago, I walked out of the theater feeling like I had been beaten over the head with a shovel. I was dazed and speechless, but not because of the power of cinema or a narrative that was effectively hard hitting and meaningful. I was feeling the effects of a film that drilled home a single tonal note for two hours with relentless brutality, and I promised myself I would never watch that work again.
The film I am speaking of was The Passion of the Christ, and I have never felt compelled to waiver from that one and done, single viewing pledge, but right now I feel as if I have witnessed its, for lack of a…

Review by Laura Raud ★★★

Although the movie itself isn't really anything special (which is a shame considering the story itself is). Having said that...
Jack O'Connell. is. a. superstar.

I want to see Louis Zamperini and Forrest Gump race
Review by davidehrlich ★★

By the time Unbroken limps towards the finish line, director Angelina Jolie has convincingly made the case that a dozen great movies could be made about the extraordinary life of Louis “Louie” Zamperini. The folly of this bland and broadly forgettable version is that it tries to be all of them.

Music for your reading pleasure

"Don’t look at me."

Unbroken is about a person being pushed to their absolute limit (both physically and mentally) and then even further. It’s about strength, courage, and survival.
It stars Jack O’Connell as Louie Zamperini, a bombardier and former Olympian, who is taken prisoner by the Japanese during World War II after his B-24 is shot down over the Pacific Ocean. After managing to survive on a raft (with two other survivors) for 47 days, he is captured by the Japanese and, over the next few years, is beaten, starved, tormented, and is ultimately pushed to his limits (and then some).
O’Connell, as Zamperini, is fantastic. After hearing so much about the (24 year…

Pretty sure all of World War II was shorter than this film.
Review by Daniel Kibbe ★★ 8

You can tell that this is directed by an amateur.
Nearly everything in this film is a misfire. Angelina Jolie's direction is incredibly plain, Deakins hardly brings anything to the table visually, and I'm still don't believe the famed Coen Brothers could have written this screenplay. At least Jack O'Connell tries his best, and shows faint glimmers of skill in what little material he's given to work with.
Unbroken is boring, amateurish, and messy. It's not worth it.
Review by Monica Castillo ★★

i'm sure it was an ok movie, it's just that they did the book such an injustice, it was hard to get out of my head while watching.

Review by trukayeets ★★★½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Good movie overall i especially liked it cause its based on a true story but it get so boring (for me at least) about halfway through the movie and doesn't pick up speed till the scene when everybody is punching Louie(the main character) good watch for people who like story, just don't go into it expecting it to be like the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan.

I loved it.
Review by motta96 ★★★★

فلم رائع وجميل مستوحى من قصة حقيقية رأينا فيها معاناة عداء أولمبي من الظلم والاهانة من قبل العسكر الياباني وكفاحه رغم الألم الذي يعتريه،
الجانب السلبي يتمثل بأن الفلم لم يوضح لنا كيف لهذا العداء انضم للجيش وأيضا لم يتم استغلال الترابط العاطفي للسجناء في المعكسر مع العداء فلو تم استغلالهم واعطائهم مساحة أكبر لكان هذا ميزة كبيرة للفلم.
النهاية جميلة وتقهر بعض الشيء💔
افضل سبب مقنع للمتابعة بأن الفلم يتحدث عن قصة حقيقية حدثت في الحرب العالمية الثانية بين الجيش الامريكي والياباني

Fotografia incrível.
