My wife recently read Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand's biography of Louis Zamperini. She enjoyed it so much that we wanted to check out Angelina Jolie's new movie based on the book. We were able to see it earlier this week in Omaha and we thought it was pretty good. The screenplay was well-written, the cast and the acting were solid, and cinematography was beautiful.
The film focuses mainly on Zamperini's time as a prisoner during World War II. That's okay for a movie, but there is a lot more to his story than that. So much more, in fact, that it would be unreasonable to expect a movie to cover it all. So, as is usually the case, if you like the movie, you should do yourself a favor and read the book.
