Phil D. @phildub Feb 3 This was a complete film for me. I was in a bit of a bad mood and needed something light. Saw this was leaving HBO and decided to put it on. It wasn’t light, but emotional. Heart breaking and heart warming. Ups and downs throughout. Andrew Knight & Andrew Anastasios did a wonderful job. Russell Crowe surprised me. I didn’t realize he directed, and it was top notch. Cast was wonderful. See more Mark B @Mbindon Jan 27 Beautiful to look a. Well acted the story / narrative is just dumb. So almost st enjoyable but overall dumb.

See more Andrew G @RT89925104 08/19/2025 Great movie with a very interesting story line See more 04/25/2025 I was not prepared this movie ended up being way more emotional than I thought give Russell Crowe credit though for making his directorial debut and starring in his own role it's a constant reminder that war is just plain awful; no one wants it and when it happens all it does is create more violence and take people away from us all a father water digger sets out to find his sons that were dragged into the horrors of World War I in Turkey to find peace with his deceased wife this is a man that has high hopes and lets nothing bewilder him the landscape and exotic locales of Australia and Istanbul are a treasure despite a bloody conflict taking shape parents outliving their children is as much as curse as it is a blessing a man is defined by how much he loves his children not by his grit or his strength or victory in battle Crowe does a splendid job here battling the odds I ended up welling up a bit at least twice in this one it's very effective that the subject of war is always constant and brutal no matter what part of the world it takes place in solid, well-acted, and emotionally resonant on multiple levels even a decade later See more Read all reviews
