Interesting but too long

Rating: 6/10 (6 September 2015)

The Way Back is an interesting story about the Russian communism from the last Second World War. It shows how the prisoners were forced to work in the Siberian gulags. The escape and the imposing landscapes makes this movie a worth check out. Colin Farrell played the Russian criminal very cool and solid. His Russian accent made him credible and his performance stands out in this film.
There were many dramatic survival scenes that give it an adventure touch. Therefore I missed some fast paced moments and I felt it was too long.
If you like this genre of movies I highly recommend to see The Great Escape with Steve McQueen. 6/10.
