I went to the cinema with my dad to see this film and I thought to myself it was going to be that good but we were 30 minutes into the film and I was like this is interesting. The Way Back is based on a true story, an epic journey of seven prisoners who escaped from a Soviet gulag in Stalinera Russia and walked over 4,000 miles across some of the most unforgiving terrain in the world, crossing the Siberian Arcti. I really loved this film as it was one of my favourite films of 2010, but then at the end of the film after all that walking they did, I just felt like not walking out of the cinema.
