Unbroken

— Zamperini’s story of endurance and survival is a good one and the choice of actors is also good. Angelina Jolie puts lots of polish on the film, and uses a slower pace than that to which we’re normally accustomed, but the story itself, even with Joel and Ethan Coen as screenwriters, seems out of pace with it's precise, belabored telling. What should have drawn us into a tale of the human spirit and inspired us, really just let watch at a distance.
