Undeniably has charm to it, as such I can't say I had a negative time watching this. <em>'Where the Road Runs Out'</em> is nothing truly memorable and it isn't a movie that is worth shouting from the rooftops about, but what is produced by Rudolf Buitendach & Co. makes for a fairly swift 90 minutes. The plot is straightforward, while there are plenty of nice shots of Equatorial Guinea; as well as a few places in Europe. Isaach de Bankolé is a likeable lead to follow, while Juliet Landau and Stelio Savante offer firm enough support. There is also a pleasant performance from youngster Sizo Motsoko. I wouldn't say the acting level throughout is all that strong, though again - like the whole production - it is all suitably watchable.
