| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierWhen you get through it, though, you can’t help but feel uplifted by this tough-skinned movie that can stand with the best muscular wartime dramas in the American movie canon. |
| ObserverRex ReedPut this one at the top of your must-see list. Angelina Jolie might not, in my opinion, have yet reached the heights of the acting profession, but with this passionate, inspired, technically awesome and profoundly exciting chronicle of the life of Louie Zamperini, she rises to the top rank of first-class film directors in a male-dominated field overcrowded with hacks. |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithMasterfully directed with a script by a who's who of Oscar nominated screenwriters, "Unbroken" is easily the most inspirational film of the year as well as one of the year's best! |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsIf you can take it, Unbroken will lift you like the classics of adventure cinema. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversJolie has an army of craftsmen in her corner, notably camera poet Roger Deakins (No Country for Old Men). But it's her vision that gives Unbroken a spirit that soars. In honoring Louis' endurance, she does herself proud. |
| ClarínPablo A. Scholz...Roger Deakins' photography is one of the best works that the regular Coen cinematographer has done... [Full review in Spanish] |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice Frederick... so painfully generic that one could probably copy the review of any derivative WWII film and paste it right here. |
| The FederalistRebecca Cusey"Unbroken" is the film that will bring hope and inspiration not only to American audiences, but those suffering in war zones and under dictators the world over. That makes it a far more dangerous movie to oppressors than "The Interview" could ever be. |
| Consequence of SoundJustin GerberAn average tribute to an extraordinary man. |
| Showbiz JunkiesRebecca Murray[Jack] O'Connell's earnest portrayal of an American hero is both heartbreaking and intense. |
