Movie Review - Unsung Hero

Still from Unsung Hero: a large family with suitcases waits together in an airport terminal

I've been scratching my head all day to figure out how to review this movie.

After talking it over with the group that went with me, I've settled on a B minus. The acting was wonderful and it had a great message. Those are two very important things that I watch for, this movie delivered them both.

What I didn't like was it felt like they spent too much time on cinematography than they did on substance. With this being based on a true story, I know there was more to tell, but instead they made sure to show a lot of scenery of Australia and America. Basically, I was left wanting to know more.

I suppose you could go home and do some research on them all and learn more after you watch it. I feel this movie could be skipped due to high ticket prices but I'd recommend watching it once it comes out on a streaming service.
