Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Way Back (out now) is the true story about a group of guys who escaped from a Russian labour camp during WWII and walked 4,000 miles to freedom in India. The film has been beautifully shot but there's only so much walking and hiking you can watch without getting bored. It ends on an unnecessarily abrupt note too. Grade: B.
