Movie Reviews of Vision Quest
Movie Review: As close to a perfect movie as one can be...
Summary: 5 Stars
...and I was not a wrestler -- in fact, I rather disliked the sport growing up! What makes this one of the greatest movies, besides the brilliant casting, directing, music and of course, acting; is the way it moves your emotions. If you don't feel complete euphoria after watching this film, you don't have a pulse either. Call it a cult classic, or a relic of the past -- however it gets categorized -- it will go down in history as an inspiring, true-to-life portrayal of youth and passion and the quest for success. Not a single scene in this movie is flawed or unbelievable -- a truly remarkable...yes...masterpiece.Movie Review: vision quest

Summary: 4 Stars
On the surface, this is the story of a high school wrestler. But the story goes so much deeper. While I, like many others, were drawn to this movie because of the wrestling theme, I found it to be an amazing story about growing up, and about life as a teenager in America. The book was better, but the film takes you through a full range of emotions and leaves you feeling good at the end.Movie Review: Vision Quest, captures the emotion of the sport of wrestling
Summary: 5 Stars
'Vision Quest' is a brilliant film for two reasons. The character of "Louden Swain" as portrayed by Matthew Modine captures the raw power and motivation to attain his ultimate goal. Swain is a man who will stop at nothing to lose thirty pounds to wrestle Brian Shute. Many people who have never wrestled appreciate this film for it's honest portrayal of youth and inspiration. I as a wrestler appreciate the presence of brutalness and pure pleasure that Louden exemplifies for his wrestling. Harold Becker who has directed films like "Malice" and "City Hall" knows how to convey the power of wrestling in this film. Most wrestlers will be appalled at the inaccuracies of scoring and unrealistic moves used in the film. But, this is Hollywood is you want to see a real match go see one. "Vision Quest' is for now and will always be a cult classic to every person that appreciates the sport. Let's be happy wrestling at least has a film this well done to portray the excitement of this incredible sport.Movie Review: Possibly Modine's Best Performance
Summary: 4 Stars
I wouldn't describe myself as the type that is maniacal about a certain actor, but I think that Matt Modine is as good as they come. This all comes despite the fact that he plays a variation of the same character in almost all of his films (i.e. a smart-aleck who has a sensitive side). Vision Quest offers the trials and tribulations of a love-sick teen wanting to be a hero. Sure, the boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl story has been used before, but what makes this film underrated is that the viewer can totally believe Modine is an introspective virgin yearning for his dreams to be realized. Great '80s soundtrack featuring a fledgling Madonna singing "Gambler" and "Crazy for You."
