I am not a big Russell Crowe fan at all but there was just something about this movie that I really enjoyed and liked.

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2015)

"I promised their mother I'd find them and bring them home." Connor (Crowe) spends his days looking for water in the Australian wastelands and waiting for his sons to return from war. After thinking something is wrong his wife begs him to go get them. Connor decides to travel to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli ends to find them and bring them home but he finds much more than he expected to. There are some movies that you watch and instantly know you like it. There are some that you watch and instantly know you hate it. Then there are movies like this one. Movies that keep you watching and interested and you like them but aren't exactly sure why. I am not a big Russell Crowe fan at all but there was just something about this movie that I really enjoyed and liked. It is not fast moving or full of action but it was a very good movie that I liked. Coming from a non Russell Crowe fan that is saying something. Overall, a movie that I really liked but cannot really explain why. I give this a B+.
