Rating: 4.5/5 -- Rough-hewn and modest, stirring but rarely grandiose. This seems fitting, since part of what made Solidarity so inspiring was its gritty, determined refusal of ideological grandstanding or political melodrama.

Rating: C+ -- An unabashedly sentimental, old-fashioned drama of the woman who inspired Poland's Solidarity that by comparison makes the celebration of American working-class heroines--in Norma Rae, Silkwood, North Country--subtle and complex. Full Review

This is Iron Curtain porn at its most shameless -- a rousing industrial rock song plays in the background every time [director] Schlöndorff wants to invoke the Spirit of Labor -- but [actress] Thalbach's Agnieszka is irresistible. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- It's a deeply affecting drama that pays tribute to a woman who's little known outside of Poland. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- The script plays fast and loose with the facts and adds soap-operaish touches, but [Katharina] Thalbach is a feisty delight. Strike is no Tin Drum, but her performance makes the melodrama worthwhile. Full Review

Debatable as history, 'Strike' sets its camera eye on the underplayed "secular saints" who contribute to that history. Full Review

Rating: B- -- It's all a lot closer to melodrama than drama, but Thalbach is a dynamo. Full Review

Product Description:

Out of favor with destiny and living moribund lives in Los Angeles, Ross (Ross Patterson), his girlfriend, Lindsay (Tara Reid, AMERICAN PIE), and his roommate, Mike (Clayne Crawford), decide to hit the road to make their fortune the old-fashioned way: through bowling. As their stars rise, so do the pressures of fame in this bawdy sports comedy.
