Great Plot, Bad Ending

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2020)

Ed Harris gives what could be considered an award preformance as Mr Smith. Jim Sturgess also puts on a great performance is this escape from a communist prison in search for freedom. Great detail is put into the journey and it seems all so real to true life. The struggles and losses for their small group really grips the heart on what life is like on the run. Although the story starts slow, it draws you in on the realism of the journey. In the end this movie leaves you wanting more to the end as it was too generic and hallow. Worth the 2 hour watch in my humble opinion.
