Unbroken

Cast: Jack O'Connell, Domhnall Gleeson (Phillip), Miyavi(The Bird) and Finn Wittrock(Mac)
Director: Angelina Jolie
Genre:  Biography, Drama, War



Survival story of a WWII American Soldier. Absolutely nothing new, but yet worth a watch. Its more of a tribute to the world war soldiers



You may look forward to:

• Jack O'Connell playing Louis Zamperini. Hats off to the man himself and to Jack to have played the tribute to a man who is literally 'Unbroken'. Being in a situation which is out of his control and yet not submissive. A very strong portrayal of a man with immense endurance and courage
• Angelina Jolie's first well known movie for her direction. I am a big fan of her, and surely she doesn't disappoint. This movie for certain touches you as you watch
• Miyavi as 'The Bird', plays a very difficult role, ruthless and yet that one scene where he breaks down, is worth watching
• Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock, fellow inmates...play their parts exceedingly well
• Watch this movie for 3 different stories in it divided in parts which keeps you thrilled for the entire duration of the movie and as well for the compassion and homage which many such war heroes do deserve

The dampeners you should be aware of:

This is not the first time we see a period based movie from War and(or) true stories of survival, which comes out as exceptionally shocking and moving. We have seen such movies before, with every such plot being remade with a new war hero every time, the onus on Director only raises one notch up. The stories are most welcome, but the Director got to present it in a manner which become incomparable with the other such movies we have seen. Well, that surely lacks. This movie never feels anything different from what we haven't seen before- be it a peek in the life of an Olympian, or survival stories in sea or even of a war prisoner
This ain't a dampener, but a reason why minus marketing, this movie isn't known to a greater audiences.





My Rating: 4/5
