Re: Race (2016) Kind of surprised this hadn't been reviewed yet on the site. Then again after seeing it myself on a flight, it really is just quite an average biopic. The film is a tad boring, it's long and not much really happens, or things happen and they're never fleshed out. It feels like not having any clear direction about what it wants to focus on. There's almost an equal amount of time for the character of Jesse Owens trainer, played by Sudeikis, as for Owens himself. From a historical perspective the film has moments of interest. But it fails to make it engaging or exciting, and falls into the regular Hollywood motion of story telling. It simply lacks any punch, and for a film that's supposed to be about achieving victory against odds more could surely be expected.

Re: Race (2016) lol. It took someone almost two years to see it since this thread was made.
