The Way Back

This movie is slow.  This movie follows several men who are in a Siberian prison and plan to escape.  It takes place in 1940 during Stalin's reign.  The men escape and you follow their journey as they they try to reach friendly territory.  The movie is pretty sad and depressing.  You pretty much watch these men struggle to survive for 2 hours and 13 minutes.  I really only kept watching because I wanted to see if they would make it and they did (sorry for spoiling it).  They end up walking 4,000 miles to India.  The main stars of this movie are Ed Harris and Colin Farrell which is why I thought this movie would be good.   I suggest you skip this movie and only watch it if you really, really, really have nothing else to watch.  It is a big downer and pretty slow.
