Interesting movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2017)

Siberia, 1941. A group of prisoners escape from a gulag and set out to reach Mongolia. What follows is an epic journey and a tale of survival against the odds.
Interesting movie, based on a true story. Story is quite amazing, and, if true, would amount to about the most incredible feat of survival in history. However, Hollywood is currently full of survival movies, diluting the originality and novelty of this.
Solid direction from Peter Weir, though movie could have been shorter. Great scenery and cinematography.
Good performances all round.
