Summary - Very Good 3.5

Let’s take a walk, shall we? How about on the Camino Santiago with Martin Sheen as he pays tribute to his son (Emilio Estevez) who died on his first day out in the Pyrenees. The Way ends up being an endearing tale of a dad (Martin Sheen) who follows in his son’s footsteps both to pay tribute to him as well as discover some sort of meaning from it all. As you’d expect – this is a drama to the hilt, and well acted by Martin’s trail buddies among some magnificently beautiful places. Now I want to go.

Acting - Very Good 3.5

Martin Sheen – great as the touched father on a mission. Tough when expected, vulnerable for effect.
James Nesbit shows his dramatic flair as an Irish writer with a psychotic bent.
Yorick van Wageningen – A likeable Dutch actor doling out Amsterdam goodies
Deborah Kara Unger – as the rough-hewn Canadian who can’t give up smoking

Film - Very Good 3.5

Great cast, awesome scenery, and a very interesting story.
