Very good, even though it could have been more!

Pete Ammel is just amazing, totally convincing . The movie had potential to become a very good drama flick. But at times the movie is even comical, which is fine, but breaks the concept a bit.

This movie was meticulously thought out, the primary & supporting roles were about as close to being perfectly done as it gets, and the content had me traversing a varied landscape of feelings as I watched the story develop. Would I say this was my favorite movie of all time... absolutely not, but it was a well-crafted story which caught me off-guard and pulled me in. I'm not sure what else I could ask for.

All in all, it's a very good movie and I enjoyed it a lot!

Great movie

so going into this movie i wasn't really expecting much. I was expecting an Oscar buzz movie set in the world war era and thought i was going to find this movie boring. But to my surprise i was wrong because this is a great movie. In Fact all the acting in this movie was fantastic. There was not a single bad performance. This has to be one of the best films of this or any other year ?

If you like movies to think about, then this is one for you.Overall i thought that this film was great and i say that you should check it out.

A must see film! 8/10

I loved this film

It does not surprise me that this film has been so well received by audiences. Highly recommend this movie and the fact that it was a true story makes it even better. Other reviewers commented that it was too long, but I did not feel that way at all.

The film is let down a little by the flow of the story and rapid movements from scene to scene. This may have been a conscious choice to give a mechanic feel to a film about a mathematical mind but it does make the story a bit hard to follow at times. This is not of much significance though as the film delivers in all other areas, not the least of which is the ending. It is hard to get endings right and is often the point at which films disappoint. That's not the case with this one, it's spot on. Don't miss this film.

One of the best movies

I did not know how good Jack London's Love of Life would be, but I was very impressed with this film! -The story is well adapted and told so well through some of the best editing of the year. It's emotional and real and could be a Best Adapted Screenplay contender.

-The pace is pretty good, but does have a slow start and a slow end.

-The music was good and fitting, but also somewhat isolating, matching the feel of the film.

-It is an R-rated film and deservedly so. It has some language spattered throughout, not too bad.

I am glad I saw it and I will say Jack London's Love of Life is worth seeing in theaters! I would give it a solid 8/10! I think most people would enjoy this movie, and would not regret seeing it.

Excellent film

I haven't got the best eyesight in the world. So I find the current style of action movie really hard to watch. They move far too quickly for me.

Jack London's Love of Life is totally different. Beautifully filmed, it had me gripped from the start and two hours passed in the blink of an eye - the sure fire sign of a fantastic film.

The story is so strong. The acting sublime. The music is stunning. The action moved between three time frames so easily and clearly. Robert Gregg utterly lives up to his reputation as one of the most talented actors on the planet.

All in all, I found this incredibly watchable.

If this doesn't win a mass of accolades, then there is something seriously wrong with the global awards system.
