I’d like to see the film, but hubby is not keen on prisoner of war camp movies. Must be the Ret. SCPO in him.

‘Unbroken’ is in the same genre as;

To End All Wars (2001)
117 min - Action | Drama | War - 2 September 2001 (USA)
7.1

“A true story about four Allied POWs who endure harsh treatment from their Japanese captors during World War II while being forced to build a railroad through the Burmese jungle.”

Excellent, critical review of ‘Unbroken’ here:

Unbroken: Broken Storytelling. Read the Book. See the Movie To End All Wars.

“And if you want to watch a true story about spiritual transcendence, and the power of forgiveness in a Japanese POW camp, watch To End All Wars, starring Kiefer Sutherland, on Amazon Movies On Demand. It’s got everything the movie Unbroken has about survival in suffering injustice. But it also has on-screen what Unbroken doesn’t: redemption, atonement, transcendence.”
