The trailers for this film came off like the typical sports movie we've seen before. While The Way Back has parts of things we've seen in sports movies before, much like in Warrior, director Gavin O'Connor keeps the emphasis on the emotional journey that Affleck's character is going through and its not the typical one that you think it ends up being. Overall this ends up being a solid movie that isn't the Oscar bait film that the trailers make it to be.

3BG rating: 8 out of 10
