Review of Prefontaine

Prefontaine (1997)
10/10
Very Good Movie 10/10
24 October 1998
I felt this movie did a very good job telling the story. It moved at a great pace and the race scenes were fantastic. I was a track runner in high school and can remember the feeling standing on the line.

The acting may have been a little weak at some points, but I felt Ed O'Neil did a fanstastic job breaking away from his stupid "Ed Bundy" role. As usual, Mr. Emrey was a pleasure to watch in every scene.

There were some comments that the movie should have ended after Munich. I feel the last half, while not the best part, is probably the most important.

I would strongly recommend this movie to anyone, especially anyone who has run track in the past.
