Critics Consensus

Unbroken: Path to Redemption overestimates the power of its inspirational real-life story, settling for a dull drama that too often preaches to the choir.

John Anderson

America Magazine

It sounds so simple. And in Unbroken: Path to Redemption, it's portrayed exactly that way. You don't need a whole movie for that kind of experience. All you have to do is read the title.

Los Angeles Times

Unnecessarily prolonged, and a fussy addition to a film about Zamperini that already exists.

National Catholic Register

Worthwhile religious movies explore the implications and the lived experience of faith or perhaps illuminate the reality of life without it. Path to Redemption has no interest in the first and isn't up to the second.

It has some pacing problems... but I still thought it was pretty moving.

There is never any evidence on display here that director Harold Cronk has any interest about any aspect of Zamperini's life except for his religious conversion and as a result, the film is little more than a listless melodrama.

All the dramatic cues are there, and many of the faces convey an eagerness that is admirable, but every simpering scene of false sincerity moves to the rhythm of some shallow after-school special.

Wasn't a huge budget, but did a great job with money available. The first one was better. Love these stories of Faith and Integrity.

Seria uma sequência do filme anterior "Invencível" de 2014, o pós-guerra e suas sequelas dolorosas e traumáticas, não consigo imaginar como é sobreviver a tanta tortura, mental e física e ter de voltar a realidade, de onde parou como se nada tivesse acontecido, inicialmente achei o protagonista um tanto arrogante, mas com o tempo percebemos que são as marcas deixadas pelas mazelas da guerra, lindo filme, triste e bonito, com fundo gospel e esperançoso…

Es una película pasable; la trama es decente y la actuación de Samuel Hunt es buena.

Horrendous, horrendous film. Exploiting the success of a Hollywood film to grab the money from Christians, pander to them, and neglect rather important things like good acting, plotting, and other necessities.

They took a great story, took away all plot and jumped from scene to scene before they could create character development.

Unbroken: Path To Redemption has camera work at times I'm not the biggest fan of, but everything else is fantastic. This is a powerful, powerful film. It tells the true story the way it's supposed to, not seeming to miss anything as of what I can remember from the book, and it does have beauty. Everyone see this!!
