Most helpful review The Way Back

Excellent Film

By a customer from Wales , 02 Jan 2011

[Highly rated reviewer]

If you enjoy true stories of grit and determination then this is the film for you. The film follows a group of prisoners as they escape prison and travel across harsh landscapes. I really enjoyed this film.

There is no doubt that I was expecting more. Tells a story but it was like walking through treacle at times. Great story though and endeavour in abundance.

A film long overdue

By Eskdaleman (14 reviews) , 26 Mar 2013

Who knows if the original story is true? It would be impossible to make a film of the complete book with all its little incidents but this film does well. Read the book first.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

In 1941, three men reach India from Tibet, having walked 4000 miles after escaping a Siberian gulag. The film tells their story and that of four others who escaped with them and a teenage girl who joins them in flight. The group's natural leader is Janusz, a Pole condemned by accusations secured by torturing his wife; he knows how to live in the wilds. They escape under cover of a snowstorm: a cynical American, a Russian thug, a comic accountant, a pastry chef who draws, a priest, and a Pole with night blindness. They face freezing nights, lack of food and water, mosquitoes, an endless desert, the Himalayas, and moral questions of when to leave someone behind.
