The 2nd film I’ve seen about <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Prefontaine” target=”_blank”>Pre</a>, and that’s where <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119934/” target=”_blank”>it</a> ranks as well. We all know the story… If you don’t, I recommend you watch <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119937/” target=”_blank”>Prefontaine</a>, which came out a year earlier and despite a lower rating on IMDB, I find it to be a much better film.<br/><br/>What bothered me about this one was the casting; <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001082/” target=”_blank”>Billy Crudup</a> leads you to believe Steve was some stoner retard, and <a href=”http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000661/” target=”_blank”>Donald Sutherland</a> is an airy a-hole.<br/><br/>The story was perhaps told a bit better, but there’s something to be said for getting my emotions involved… this one didn’t do that.<br/><br/>While still a decent movie, I cannot recommend it to anyone who is not a runner.<br/><br/><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Grade: </span>C+
