Prefontaine (1997)
Prefontaine - great movie for running enthusiasts
Running is one of my favorite activities, so I found this movie and wanted to see what it was about...Prefontaine was an outstanding American runner, never heard of him until I stumped into this movie, (starring Jared Leto, who I think is perfect for portraying a runner)... I like people like Steve Prefontaine who didn't leave this world without being remembered, despite dying at such young age...and who are moved by their heart, nothing can stop them, it's very inspiring. I enjoyed this movie from 1997, the 90's seem not too long ago but when you watch those movies makes you think it was a 'while ago' already , and the movie is set in 1972 so it feels even 'older'. I also enjoyed the acting, but the fact that it is a real story, and the fact that it happened during a world known tragedy (The massacre during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich) that touched the life of this athlete, makes it more interesting, so is not just a movie about runners.

Bad thriller, boring love story
I wanted to see this movie because I thought it had a good story behind it, something inspiring. Well the story portrayed in the film comes across as shallow to me. It's visually pleasant regarding the location and good looking people but anything else seems dull. The acting is bad, I don't think Josh Duhamel is a bad actor, however seems that there is no connection at all between the actors and everything becomes a little 'plastic'. The thriller part makes it a little interesting, there is a tiny piece of mystery that makes you wonder what happened to this person, but it seems that there is nothing interesting about that story either. So the outcome it's a boring and predictable movie.
