My Movie Diary 2016 (235 movies items)" 7.27The aptly titled Race brings us behind the lines of the '36 Berlin Olympics where Jesse Owens embarrassed Hitler with a commanding, world-breaking performance on the track while filmmaker Leni Reifenstahl's camera was rolling. Stephen James' Owens is the centerpiece of the movie, a good enough performance muddled by some weak supporting characters, and moments that could have been more dramatic. "

2016 Movies Seen (106 movies items)"Too generic of a telling of a true great story to be that memorable of a film. This as well as standard movie "dramatic" moments for films like this with all the obliged finger wagging at the ignorance of the time."
2016 Films Ranked (170 movies items)"This film hits every point for a biopic, without ever trying to do anything spectacular with it, the performances are passable, but not Oscar-worthy, but the script is pretty good, making it worth watching at least once. 6.9/10"
