- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A sports bio movie that I really enjoyed about a sport and sports hero I barely knew existed"
-
"It's a shame it's not a better movie, but its small virtues include an uncompromising performance by English actor Jonny Lee Miller."
-
"A typically engaging performance from Johnny Lee Miller takes this slightly above the usual underdog movie cliche"
