Watched for the first time last night


And wow! I can't believe I've waited 11 years to see this.

Excellent, moving, breathtaking, inspiring, superbly acted, just a great movie and probably earned a spot in my top 20 of all time.

I started it late and figured I'd either watch half last night and half tonight or just lose interest, but I had to watch until the end.

9/10.

actually it is kind of a rip of the movie "As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me" (2001) It is very similar as you will see...

I also had this movie for the longest time and just avoided watching it because it looked really dull. Then one day I popped it in and was pleasantly surprised by just how really good it is. The hell these characters endured during their escape! Very underrated movie. It would be nice to find more survival movies similar to this.

There’s a similar movie and also set in gulag. Called “Lost in Siberia”. Highly recommend it. It’s on Youtube now, you’re in luck: https://youtu.be/ePX9FFE4ivQ
