Unbroken Path To Redemption
I feel overall this was an opportunity missed to really engage with post traumatic stress disorder and how medical intervention needs to presume it is present until they can confirm it is not.
The movie then sank into an abyss of alcoholic self-medication that was totally understandable in the absence of professional intervention.
The acting as good and Samuel Hunt in the lead role gave an intensity to the role. How good he fail with bone structure and indeed hair like that.
His redemption in the form of finding faith is to easy to condemn, it worked for him, it's his story and who I am to criticise.
Without being unfair there really wasn't enough here of a story to make a movie 5/10

I don't confess to being a Christian but i enjoyed this Sequal to Unbroken. The Acting, Story, directing......nearly everthing about this film was entertaining and satisfying. Too bad the film is not doing well at the box office cause it deserves to be a huge hit!
The avg. IMDB star rating for this movie is suffering due to the older audience this movie appeals to. I've seen perfectly grammatically correct reviews praising this movie, frankly raving about it, yet they only gave the movie 3 or so stars. I think some older folks are new to IMDB and don't understand how its star rating system works. 10 stars is good and 1 star is bad.
Anyway, the detail in the PTSD depiction was amazingly accurate and Samuel Hunt is an exceptional actor. I loved this movie for the accuracy in that. I understand the disappointment one Christian expressed over the minor coverage of what changed Zamperini's mind, convincing him to stop hating and blaming God, but to instead trust Him. As an atheist, I certainly didn't mind the short treatment of this, but I will point out that Pure Flix has gotten lots of heat for dedicating full movies to trying to persuade atheists. They've probably learned not to do that. Even another IMDB reviewer didn't like how preachy this movie still is, as though the aim should be for Christian studios to make movies that are indistinguishable from those of secular studios. I certainly don't expect that.
Another reviewer dedicated their entire review of this movie to insulting Pure Flix for its previous movies which were dedicated to persuading atheists. Some atheists think movies where an atheist is a villain should never exist, even if atheists are also good guys in the same movie. So I'll grant that you Christians were quite mature about Monty Python movies, Carrie, the Shawshank Redemption, and many of Universal's recent anti-Christian movies like the highly fictionalized Boy Erased, but I just don't think many atheists are quite ready to return that favor to you. Sorry. :-/

It is a passable movie; the plot is decent and Samuel Hunt's acting is good.
This story show the sad truth that for many the war was not finnished but become a mental struggle. The film is another story of the man from the film unbroken. The sad truth was that many soldiers turnned to drink but he found god and found the strength to carry on.
