Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Though excelling with casting, Jolie's direction falls short in style and execution; cheesy dissolves and trite biopic techniques are distractingly formulaic, fracturing absorption with Unbroken's brutal and shocking content.

Rating: 3/4 --
A solid film with a great story that is ultimately unremarkable in its telling.

Rating: B --
The result is the telling of a good story, but not an illuminating one.

Assignment X
Ms. Jolie does fine work throughout....Like a lot of actors turned directors, she’s good with the performers...

Rating: 2/4 --
Unbroken is an odyssey detailing a harrowing ordeal and insurmountable odds. But this polished story feels conventional, overly long and not sufficiently involving. [Full review in Japanese]

The Asahi Shimbun GLOBE (Japan)
Rating: 6.5/10 --
Unbroken should feel like a horror movie (I can't imagine a more frightening existence than Zamperini's time in the prison), but instead feels like a pedestrian, gussied-up biopic.

Way Too Indie
Rating: 2/5 --
A lacklustre and dull film about an incredibly remarkable man.

Product Description:
Angelina Jolie directs this true-life tale of Louis Zamperini, the Olympic track star who survived a plane crash in World War II, only to fight for his life against nature and eventually as a prisoner of war. Joel and Ethan Coen provide the script. Louis (Jack O'Connell) grows up a rough-hewn kid on the verge of becoming a full-on delinquent, until his brother starts training him to be a track star. Louis excels at the sport, and eventually represents America at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. During his training, he learns to become resilient and disciplined; his brother's words of advice, "If you can take it, you can make it," push him to overcome any adversity.
He must live up to that adage under the most extreme circumstances after his plane is shot down during another bombing raid. He is stranded at sea for more than a month, only to be found by the Japanese and forced to endure constant physical abuse at the hands of sadistic prison-camp guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe (Japanese pop star Miyavi), who wants to break Louis' indomitable spirit.
