I had the opportunity to sit down and watch this 2023 drama titled "A Million Miles Away", and of course I did so. In fact, I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, nor was I familiar with the story upon which the movie was based.
The storyline was nicely written, and it proved to be an entertaining movie to sit through. Of course, I have no idea how close the events in the movie were to the actual facts upon which it is based. But in terms of it being an entertaining movie, then writers Bettina Gilois, Hernán Jiménez and Alejandra Márquez Abella definitely delivered.
When I sat down to watch "A Million Miles Away" it was because I hadn't already seen the movie, but most certainly also because it had Michael Peña in the leading role. And he really performed well in the movie and carried it nicely. THe movie also have some nice performances from Rosa Salazar, Garret Dillahunt and Michelle Krusiec, to mention but a few of the great cast members in the movie.
Visually then "A Million Miles Away" was good. It wasn't an over-the-top special effects and CGI galore, and the movie did quite well without such displays, proving that a well-told story and good cinematography can go a long way.
I thoroughly enjoyed director Alejandra Márquez Abella's 2023 movie "A Million Miles Away", and it certainly is a movie well worth spending 121 minutes on watching.
My rating of "A Million Miles Away" lands on a six out of ten stars.
