I enjoyed this sports documentary from ESPN. However, I know some will not because it leaves TONS of things unanswered--and clarity is certainly NOT something you'll find here.
"Run Ricky Run" is a film about Ricky Williams--a very strange pro football player. Now I am NOT trying to be insulting saying he is strange--this is just a fact. He clearly does NOT walk to the same drummer that others do. He failed several NFL drug tests and basically said he was fine walking away from a multi-million dollar contract so he could smoke pot! But the story gets much stranger--and I'll let you learn more when you see this show yourself. Just be prepared--while SOME of his behaviors make some sense, some just can't easily be explained. Fortunately, around the time this film was made, Williams managed to clean his life up quite a bit and had a few good NFL years in him. Let's wish him well and hope he manages to keep his life together. Well worth seeing.
