Did not do justice to one of my favorite books of all time

It is beyond me how this movie ended up being so boring given the incredible source material. This movie was an absolute disservice to the book and to Zamperini.

I couldn't Agree more. It lacks any emotional response. It's completely numb.

It lacks any emotional response.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

A good review of "Inside Out": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXC_205E3Og

I found it light on emotion, too..

Although I did react maybe emotionally but maybe more physically to beatings and blows struck by the psycho "Bird" ...I winced each time.

@SkippyJustice I haven't read the book - can you give a few examples of what the movie should've done?

I have to disagree with the OP. I watched the movie first and it had a profound effect on me. I read the book after which elicited the same response. I thought the movie was extremely well-done and did justice to both the book and Louis.

It's so dull. I blame both Angelina Jolie and also the poor casting/script. This could have been an incredible story.
