THE WATER DIVINER, is an epic adventure set four years after the devastating battle of Gallipoli during World War I. Australian farmer Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) travels to Turkey in 1919 to discover the fate of his three sons, reported missing in action. Initially blocked by military bureaucracy, his determination unwavering, he is helped first by the beautiful Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko) who owns the hotel he takes in Istanbul, and then by a Turkish Officer who had fought against Connor's sons. Holding on to hope, Connor and Major Hasan must travel across the war-torn landscape to find the truth, and for Joshua to find his own peace. (Entertainment One)

Russell Crowe delves into making his own film, which revolves around Australian wartime history and the battle in Turkey, which ended tragically for the Australian side. Crowe is a good actor and manages to carry the whole film quite well, but here he's not trying to stand out, even though he succeeds. The film is sometimes overly sentimental and plays it safe too much, but I got through it without much trouble.
