Review of Race

Notes:
*I have been meaning to watch this for some time now.
*I'm ashamed that this was playing at my theater and I hadn't watched it sooner.
*The story of Jesse Owens is greatness and it kind of feels like things are returning to how it was back then with out current situation in America.
*The director Stephen Hopkins is mostly known for horror/sci-fi movies like Predator 2, The Reaping, Nightmare on Elm Street 5, and even Lost in Space.
*The writers also wrote Frankie & Alice which was an excellent watch.
*I think the cast here is awesome especially with the Degrassi alumni play major roles.
*Now let's see if this was worth the wait.

Pros:
*I didn't know everything about this story, but filling in the blanks was pretty interesting.
*I loved that there are people within even those times were good despite being in such places.
*Stephan James really held his own as the lead here which was pretty impressive.
*The acting was pretty good from all.
*The soundtrack was interesting.
*It didn't feel as long as the runtime.
*Just to think how it all went down is truly an interesting thing.

Cons:
*The backstory didn't feel full enough.
*It needed a little something else I just can't figure out what though.

Verdict:
It was worth the wait for sure. It could have used a bit more with his past and maybe some other things. Those are just minor quips though. I respect the people who looked at the talent and not the color. It was an interesting story with details that I hadn't known. I say it's definitely worth checking out.
