A few things I love are basketball, Ben Affleck, and a feel good movie. The Way Back checks all of those boxes. Sometimes in life you don't make the shot and sometimes life can throw a pretty hard foul your way, but you gotta rebound, keep shooting, and play defense on all of the negative bullshit. If you keep hustling and don't give up you just might finish this thing called life with a winning percentage. Hell, you might even make the playoffs.

Very good action scenes
Cops and Robbers
A brilliant cops and robbers film, the best of its genre since @Heat (1995) in my eyes. Also quite similar to @The Departed (2006) so if you like those two, who doesn't? You'll want to see this. Based on an award winning book for crime writing "Prince of Thieves". This has great action, a fine cast, interesting story, the whole thing oozes class. Ben Affleck directs and does a great job. Very enjoyable check it out!

Really-not-that-bad-at-all action thriller with Ben Affleck doing a surprisingly good job of playing a brilliant accountant-stroke-hitman. The film kind of dodges around the implication that Affleck's character is autistic, but the inference is clear and while this is still Movie Autism (never mind the crippling downsides, you get super powers!!!), it is still sympathetic and has at least a few vestiges of reality to it.

The plot eventually ends up being completely gonzo, involving corruption in the robotics industry and duelling assassins, but the movie fends off the moment when you shout 'this is all utterly ridiculous!' for a surprisingly long time. Eclectic cast includes Affleck, John Lithgow, Jon Bernthal, and Anna Kendrick (who appears to be about three feet tall in a few of her scenes). A fun and engaging movie; not a particularly great thriller but all the peripheral weirdness keeps it watchable.

Too short
Why?
OK, to be fair I am not a massive reader of all things DC or Marvel, but in my youth I read enough good story's about Batman, Superman et al to know that this film should have been amazing. Instead someone just shoved a lesser known villian in a short story using some DC lore they had read and decided to misuse. Such an absolute waste of a great cast and potential. I wanted to love the movie, and even convinced my wife to watch it with me!

The best I can say about this film is that it was alright. The premise was good, although i don't think it was very well executed.

Jon Bernthal was great, probably the best actor in this. John Lithgow and JK Simmons were sadly underused, and I really didn't rate Ben Affleck. Anna Kendrick too seems to play the same character in pretty much every film she's in.


Still I liked some of the action and the comedy, although by the end I couldn't quite figure out what the point was in the investigation into the accountant?

I quite enjoy this movie I do think that the reveal at the end concerning Jon bernthall just felt a little too forced and unrealistic
