Unbroken, an Angelina Jolie film is well crafted with the support of great casts especially Jack O'Connell who played as Louis Zamperini. With too many expectations for the secondary directorial job of Angelina Jolie, Unbroken performed impressively on its opening day.
At the hype of Sony's controversial issue with the film "The Interview" Unbroken still scored high although initially it was only shown to 1,979 locations. It garnered sales of $850,000 on Christmas Eve.
Unbroken is a true-to-life film, which is directed and produced by award-winning director Angelina Jolie.
The storyline tells about the life of the Olympian Louis "Louie" Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) that transformed into a challenging part after the WWII where he was labeled as a war hero after his 47-day ordeal in the hands of the Japanese.
Unbroken is a film adaptation from Laura Hillenbrand's "Seabiscuit: An American Legend." As a director, Angelina Jolie has featured her craft as a serious film that is well done, but can't be considered as great. There are some few details that it missed although the casts have strong backup of great actors.
The lead character, Louie Zamperini played by British actor Jack O'Connell did well in the film. He did an excellent portrayal of his role and has given justice to what is expected of him in the movie.
The film was also supported by well known brothers Joel and Ethan Coen (screenplay) who successfully transformed the book into a 2-hour and 17-minute film.
Unbroken is a film that will inspire moviegoers. It was such as well documented film that talks about the sacrifices and greatness of heroes in time of war. However, in the second part of the film, the story becomes dull and routinely for audience to lack excitement on the next scene.
The horrific experience of Zamperini that is supposed to be dealt with emotions turned to plain scene as audience feels exhausted with Zamperini's suffering as he was tortured.
Rated as PG-13, some brutality and violence scenes are not appropriate for children.
