ScreenIt Jim Judy Overall, I enjoyed this film enough to give it a recommendation. But like many a second or third place runner, it's unlikely this film will come to mind in years to come when people still remember Chariots of Fire as the gold medal winner and cinematic standard-bearer of movies about runners. | 12 | |
