It's been awhile since I've watched a film that touched me the way this has. The actors are brilliant and the storyline is gripping. I give it a 10/10! It's a must watch.
Sure it's a bit formulaic but that didn't effect how engaging and absorbing it is . If you like movies like this it not , it certainly delivers and without cringe or eye rolling . The cast fits beautifully and the story itself is inspiring and captivating . I was all there for it and I am here for it still !
Glad this movie finally came out. I watched because it was a "BMX movie" and at the half century mark BMX is important to me. I still ride! But the movie was way more than a BMX movie. John Buultjens' story is a great story that more people in today's world need to hear. He is livening proof a bad start in life can be overcome.
I had no expectations of this movie just thought I would enjoy it as a long time BMX racer and freestyle rider from back in the day. We get some great riding action which is awesome but what is even better is we get to see a great story that shows us where you start doesn't have to define where you finish in this life. There is nothing I don't like about this movie, the casting the cinematography the riding is all top notch. This is a must watch in my opinion even if you are not into BMX. What you will take away from this movie has no price.
