So much of The Way Back is done so well. The music is great, the acting is great, the camerawork is great; the editing too. The script, however... can't see its way out of every other movie you've seen just like this where a curmudgeonly coach with secret pain lets the kids down and lets himself down but has been inspiring and amazing if only he could see that.
To be honest, I found this affecting enough, and I liked it quite a bit – I even love Ben Affleck – but the screenwriter really took the lazy road in act three. It's just all so predictable.
