The Way Back: PG-13


Based on the book A Long Walk and actual events, a small group of convicts escape from a Siberian gulag during WWII. They then are forced to trek across 5 countries, over 4000 to India to finally gain freedom.
Wow! What an amazing story! I really liked this movie, although it was a little long for my taste, running about 2 1/2 hours. You have to have a long attention span to watch this movie, as you are basically watching these people walk the whole time. However, it is fascinating! All the things they had to go through, it is truly amazing.
I don't have much to say about this movie, its one of those you just have to see.
This movie is rated PG-13 because it has the 'F' word twice in subtitles. It also has some vulgar drawings by one of the escapee's.
I'd say that the age to see this would maybe be a mature 15 year-old. Mostly because it takes a little more of in interested mind to watch this movie.
This movie is worth seeing if you are mature and want to hear a fascinating story of survival.
