Starvation. Shark bait. Solitary
Confinement. Sustained punches to the face. These are just a few of the many
forms of torture Louis Zamperini had to endure as a marooned Air Force pilot
and a WWII POW and boy, Angelina Jolie is NOT going to let us forget this in
her sophomore effort as a director. Spectacularly shot and confidently helmed, Unbroken could’ve been a real hit if
only Jolie had allowed time for some character development amid all the
bruising and beatings. Still, it’s nice to see the talented Jack O’Connell
graduate from typecast thug to Hollywood leading man (although his Yankee
accent still needs working on).
3/5
