journey of hope tell of a poor turkish family and their odyssey of hope which spiral downward into despair a they travel to switzerland in search of prosperity . although this oscar win film be fairly well craft and it be lack in substance and have many implausibility . much of the film 1 . 7 hour run time be get on the bus and get off the bus and get on the boat and get off the boat and get in the van and get out of the van and etc . while time which could have be well spent or leave out completely . the story have a predictable conclusion and especially for those who have an awareness of the common crime of traffic in illegal immigrant . a worthwhile and reasonably entertaining watch but over rat .
