Unbroken (2014 Angelina Jolie)

Jack O'Connell is the unbroken title character in wrong-footed war film which dwells endlessly on torture - the Coen brothers are associated with the script. Much CGI. Acting good: Domhnall Gleeson, Miyavi. That the bastard got away with war crimes and wouldn't face his former captive leaves a bitter taste, though final shots of the real 80 year old Luis Zamperini running at Tokyo Olympics is fine.

P.S. 29/2/16. Seem to have completely missed this was a Roger Deakins film, his 12th Oscar nomination.
