Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A straightforward and entirely commendable story about the triumph of the human spirit, etc.
Given its subject, it should have been great, but it turns out to be simply good.
In a well-made, but one-note film.
"Unbroken" stirs a moviegoer by default; it's an astounding story of human endurance that has been brought a little too safely to the screen.
