Rating: 3/5 --
That it remains broadly watchable owes much to James's lean, committed turn, but what's around him often seems to be carving its lightning-bolt history into not stone but easily digestible cheese.

Guardian
With the Screenwriters attempt to capture everything and please all parties, the film ends up being superficial, especially in the basics of the film: Its main character. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 3.5/5 --
While it is a bit uneven in spots, the overall effect is an engaging, compelling story that certainly warrants telling to a new generation.

The Maine Edge
From a historical standpoint, this film tells a great story. What happened to Jesse Owens has all the drama and emotion you could ever want. But it doesn't deliver the emotional punch of a Rocky.

Product Description:
This drama based on true events focuses on legendary black athlete Jesse Owens (Stephan James) and his inspiring journey to overcome racism at home and abroad, culminating in his triumphant track-and-field performance at the 1936 Berlin Olympics under the tutelage of gruff Ohio State coach Larry Snyder (Jason Sudeikis). At the same time, Owens also contends with a rivalry with German competitor Carl "Luz" Long (David Kross), while Olympic committee members Jeremiah Mahoney (William Hurt) and Avery Brundage (Jeremy Irons) deal with Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels (Barnaby Metschurat) and his desire to make the Games a celebration of Aryan supremacy. Carice van Houten co-stars as controversial filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. Directed by Stephen Hopkins.
