I think so far this is the best of Angelina Jolie's movies. Loved the story; story of courage, determination, a strong and beautiful mind. Great cast; great performances. Jack O'Connell, amazing performance. Sometimes this movie brings tears to your eyes, not easy to watch and be indifferent. This movie is a classic, you can watch it more than once. Hopefully it'll win some Oscars.
Excellent movie! Good Work Angie...
Amazing all around. Truly inspirational.
The constant torture was relentless to the point of boring. Almost left a few times. Wish it was more about the human spirit before and after the torture. The complete story is a good one, but the redeemable parts have been edited.
This is an extraordinary film that needs to be seen! It makes you appreciate all the more how beautiful your life truly is. This giant of a man teaches us qualities that are rarely found in a person! Be prepared to be humbled like never before...Mr. Zampirini deserves all the medals for bravery and courage!! May you rest in peace!! PS not a fan of Angelina Jolie but a spectacular debut in her directorial talents!!
Excellent movie adaptation of a truly inspiring book. Makes one wonder how people can do such horrible and unspeakable things to each other and the power of the human spirit to survive.
Even though the movie could not possibly include everything that was in the book, it was very true to the book account. Well acted and well directed.
Enjoyed it - great story - well portrayed.
Worst movie, worst acting, worst director ever.
An excellent movie, all aspects of the movie were tremendous. Nice that somebody actually remembered how to make a movie. I highly recommend it.
