Sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself.

George, a scientist living in Rotterdam is growing wary of the world of academia. The sudden death of an old friend is the incentive he needs to return to his African roots where he takes over a dilapidated field station in the jungle of Equatorial Guinea. There he meets an orphan boy with a sunny disposition who opens George's wary eyes to this colorful place. The boy plays matchmaker between George and the lady who runs the local orphanage and all seems rosy until an old friend of George's shows up out of nowhere to throw their lives into disarray as George discovers there are many obstacles on the road to redemption and a few more where the road runs out.

Undeniably has charm to it, as such I can't say I had a negative time watching this. 'Where the Road Runs Out' 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.
