    Does not raise the intensity or pulse rate.

    This is quite a routine sports picture and not many outside of athletics would be too excited about the story. The drama is fairly straightforward without making too many waves but it does showcase the absolute dedication, to be a success and how even the very best can be led down the wrong path. In a movie concerning Jamaican sprinting, the only highlight was a cameo appearance, by the legendary Usain Bolt.

    Charming but often cliche

    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.

    Enjoyable from beginning to end!

    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!

    Formulaic and full of cliche

    It's an okay movie but the screenplay is somewhat too slow and uninspiring. I think the directing is not quite fit for this sports movie especially it's about a very short distance sprint competition. Using the slow motion to show the last race is so dumb and the camera just focused on this young dude, making him look like running alone on the track is just so anti-climax and so low I.Q. decision. If you used slow-motion to show a Pan-American sprint race/competition, you should also use the real speed to show a complete race from the start to the end, then the viewers would get a whole and complete picture of how this young dude won that race. But instead, it never showed anything but inserted some hugging and running with his Jamaican flag on the field and the pissed off American athlete loser. This is a very dumb directing and editing job that completely made the movie looked like a fake fairy tale.

    No it's not a great movie, just mediocre.

    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.
