The Way 2010

The Way (2010)     A grieving father experiences a major epiphany during a pilgrimage to the Pyrenees in honor of his late son.  His son died making a trek down the Way of Saint James and his father Tom vows to complete the journey.  Traveling the 800km path with only his son's guidebook and backpack he forms powerful bonds with three fellow travelers.  They alter his perspective of the world and remind him what it means to lead a meaningful life.
     Isn't it GREAT that Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez are not like Charlie Sheen!!  A good premise but too long and not strong enough, this could have been a much better movie.  This is about heavy material but treated too lightly.  3* (This movie is OK)

121 min, Action directed by Emilio Estevez with Martin Sheen, Deborah Kara Unger, Yorick Van Wageningen, Angela Molina, Carlos Leal, Simon Adreu, Eusebio Lazaro, Antonio Gil.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, 7.3 out of 10, 80% critic 83% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
