There are four wide releases this weekend. We're only gonna talk about one.
Unbroken: Path to Redemption
I'll give you one guess who DIDN'T direct this film. That's right. Angelina Jolie.
The Christian movies strike again. What is this, the third weekend in a row? Even if it isn't, it feels like it. This is the first I've heard of the Christian genre co-opting an existing property.
2014's Unbroken (directed by Angelina Jolie and starring NOT the same guy as the main character) was not a Christian movie. It was the true story of a guy who became a great runner, ran in the olympics, went off to war, and had a rough time in a Japanese prison camp in World War II.
Unbroken: Path to Redemption is about the same man after he gets home, and the wrestles he has with his faith in God and PTSD, among other things it seems. I just confirmed this is also based on the true story of this guy's life.
Unbroken: Path to Redemption is rated PG-13 for thematic content and related disturbing images.
