The Last Champion

Filmed in Big Sky country, this is a beautiful tale. Cole Hauser, who has skyrocketed to fame with his work in Yellowstone, delivers a wonderful performance. Also, the great Dan Gable makes a cameo at the end of the film. He would never have been involved with this, if he didn't believe it would not represent amateur wrestling well.

I'm done with all the 'We're all terrible so we're all going to get punished' movies. Enough already. Let's have more like The Last Champion. We all make mistakes, and the main character in this story committed a whopper, but that's just the beginning. The story lies in what it takes to make one's way back.

High School wrestling provides the backdrop for the story, and there are some good depictions of the sport here, better than most I've seen, but this story isn't about wrestling, it's about forgiving yourself, forgiving others, and moving forward with your life.

Cole Hauser doesn't mimic his Yellowstone character, he finds another dimension and goes there. I'm a Rip Wheeler fan, but don't watch this movie because you miss Yellowstone. Watch this movie for the good life lessons that are presented, the great acting, and a moving score.

A movie that values hard work, determination, kindness and GOD in 2020!!! Uh, yes please! I would have given it ten stars but gave it nine for the predictability factor, other than that, I was very happy to find this gem tonight. Loved it!

The people involved with the The Last Champion movie trailer should get a A plus plus. !! Incredible job. Editing and music overlay hit a home run. Definitely hit my emotional nerve. Great story....

This is the best movie I've seen in a long time, it touches on so many levels; family, loss, growing pains, addiction, life mistakes...redemption. And even though I didn't want the movie to end, the ending was perfect. 10 stars across the board! Thank you for such a beautiful movie. Happy Holidays!
