Friends comments and ratings
Just a good sports drama about the great track and field athlete Jesse Owens, whose personality has long deserved a film like this. The film was made on a fairly large scale for its budget. The actor in the leading role is not bad, but is a little lost compared to Sudeikis and Irons.
