If you can take it you can make it.

Unbroken (2014)

Directed by Angelina Jolie this film based on a true story stars Jack O'Connell, Domhnall Gleeson and Miyavi. Louis Zamperini is the son of Italian immigrants to the US, he becomes an Olympic athlete then is captured by the Japanese during WW2.

There is not a lot that is unique or special about this survival/POW story, it covers a lot of familiar ground but does so well. While there maybe the odd element omitted it seems that this film largely sticks to historical facts. In the end this is a solid but not particularly special genre entry.


3/5
