Movie Reviews of The Long Run
Movie Review: The Long Run
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is set in a post apartheid South Africa where harsh things still happen. Nevertheless it is an uplifting story of achievement and care. It is seen through the eyes of a German brick works supervisor, whose passion is coaching the company's entrants, all black, for the longest Marathon of all: the 90 km Comrades.When early retirement arrives in the person of an articluate young African MBA, the coach has to find a new focus for his training zeal. What follows is the real story.
Movie Review: From a Runner
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall movie may be average. However, the way some characters interact with each other. Especially the way Berry was so focused on Comrades and his way of running it even through others. Christine does the best acting. She interacts amongst more characters in the movie than anyone else. She is shy, stubborn, witty, funny and charming all in a more natural way than the others. Gazza does make a good antagonist. Predictable as it was focusing on the current scenes made the movie enjoyable. Even though "Char riots of Fire" is a better movie this is more inspirational for me as I like running marathons. The two main difference between this movie and "Char riots of Fire" is that this movie deals with long distance running and the motivating power coming from outside and "Char riots of Fire" is about short distance and the intensity that one person has winning an Olympic Gold Medal. The music during the running part is good motivation to want to run.Movie Review: Poor
Summary: 2 Stars
Mediocre acting and predictable plot. Very disapointing. Not inspired at all.
