Review of Sprinter

Sprinter (2018)
Formulaic and full of cliche
5 November 2019
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.
