Great Underrated Movie! March 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie had, and has, a special place in my heart. A good story that leaves you rooting for the good guys. Something about the Olympics in the 1980's connected on a personal level. Maybe it was because of the many underdog types actually winning.
Also having a nice love story and a drama story about the main character's father and mother and the entire family's relationship to one another. This movie does well to draw you in and make you care. The physical work is also tremendous and this whole film is beautifully shot. I hope this film makes it to dvd soon!!! Highly recommened!
