Movie Reviews of Reversal
Movie Review: Talk about a movie with a negative focus.
Summary: 1 Stars
If the producers wanted to make a film to warn of the dangers of excessive weight cutting they should have made a documentary. If they wanted to make a movie about a well intentioned father who pushes his son too hard, I personally would have preferred if they had done so in a context other than wrestling.Is the movie necessarily out of touch with reality-no. Are there a thousand positive stories that could have been told about the constructive impact wrestling has had on young men's lives and about the genuine affection between father and son that has been fostered by wresting-YOU BET.
Who is anyone to tell the producers what kind of movie to make? I am working on the fairly safe assumption that the makers of this film love wrestling and were trying to give the sport some needed exposure. Unfortunately, children and parents who see this film, and know little about wrestling, will probably look to stay clear of the sport.
Few sports, activities or relationships are without both a positive and a negative side. With the perils facing wrestling in this era of title IX and the like the last thing we need is a portrayal of the worst excesses that exist in the sport. They portaryed characters whom wrestling had made miserable and unhappy-most of the people I know who have been exposed to wrestling have had thier lives enriched by it.
