Sprinter

Interesting story with los of Jamaican color and language and a surprise appearance of Usain Bolt. Dale Elliott does a credible job of acting.

We absolutely loved this film and can truly see this becoming a cult classic. We have been raving about it to everyone we meet. It is just a shame that there is so little buzz about it in the UK and so few opportunities to view the film. Wonderful production, acting and the soundtrack is perfect - I hope this is being released as an album!

More films like this please!!! Loved it!

I really like Sprinter and I think it gave a different side to a non-American athlete. It really showed what he had up against him while still trying to go to school and do track and field. The Jamaican ascents were really strong. I had to turn on Closed Captions to make sure I was understanding what they were saying completely.

I really enjoyed how they showed us who won the race at the end of the movie.

It follows a tested and tried formula has an extremely likeable lead and was thoroughly enjoyably throughout despite its predictability and using the template of many successful sports films. The only thing that was slightly annoying was the subtitles were horrific often nothing like what they actually said and I'm not sure why they were needed anyway given it was in English to begin with. Doubt many would be disappointed with this and most will enjoy without it blowing anyone's minds or achieving any true level of greatness.

Sprinter isn't a movie that I will remember. It's a movie where I need to write a review immediately after seeing it otherwise I won't remember anything about it next week. It's just not that interesting as a story, often cliché, not that great of acting (actually pretty mediocre). The funny thing is that I read a reviewer saying the annoying thing were the subtitles. I thought they were the best thing of the movie because if you're not a Jamaican yourself you won't understand half of the movie.
