Performance-wise, it's difficult to choose a highlight. The whole cast impresses: Sturgess projects the humanity of his character brilliantly without ever over-selling it, Farrell is great in what is very much a supporting role, while Ronan makes a big impact in a short space of time. But it's veteran thespian Ed Harris who sets the pace for the rest of the cast to follow, with his intense performance of an emotionally fractured prisoner. The pain of his past is evident on his face before he ever utters a word.
The Way Back is a well made, brilliantly acted film from an underrated director who mixes the intimate and epic with ease. Its story, however inspiring, just isn't a particularly eventful one.
