Robert Redford plays the title character.he's cocky and and arrogant.,and not a team player.then again ,skiing is really a team sport,is it?Gene Hackman plays the U.S. Ski team's coach.anyway,there isn't a lot in the way of action.there are a few shots of the skiers racing down the hill,a few from their point of view.it's more of a character study.it's not exactly boring but not really exciting either.it does have a bleak,dreary feeling through out for some reason.it is interesting enough to sustain interest,but it's not something i would watch again for a long while.you could do a lot worse,though.for me,Downhill Racer is 5/10
