Went to see this as I was curious as to it being any good.
It's 1936 & the University of Washington's rowing team race for Gold during the Depression-era in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
I found the film to be not bad, it was pretty good & straight forward enough. But my issue is the film lacked impact & could've been more upbeat. George Clooney did a good job & the film was entertaining enough, but I felt it could've been better in that respect.
The actors do a good job here & the set pieces were decent, even though I felt the film could've been much shorter & to the point. The films runtime is 1 hour & 59 minutes (119 minutes), which is quite long I think, but funnily enough, the pacing wasn't too bad despite this, though you did feel it drag somewhat.
Overall, it's a not bad film, the story is good & despite it's long runtime, slightly off but decent pacing & the lack of impact, the film was good.
6/10.
