Sprinter

If you want to understand Jamaica, watch this film

The movie gives a true presentation of life for many Jamaicans. Encourage everyone to check it out on Netflix.

I wrote a review about how awful I thought this movie was, but it was never posted, so here I am trying again. Disgusting movie. I was trying to find something uplifting and motivating, but instead saw under aged children * basically. Just so that everyone knows there is a scene where anal sex with minors is implied. The entire thing did not have any flow. This movie was all over the place and is not what it portrays to be. Very trashy.

This is quite a routine sports picture and not many outside of athletics would be too excited about the story. The drama is fairly straightforward without making too many waves but it does showcase the absolute dedication, to be a success and how even the very best can be led down the wrong path. In a movie concerning Jamaican sprinting, the only highlight was a cameo appearance, by the legendary Usain Bolt.

Interesting story with los of Jamaican color and language and a surprise appearance of Usain Bolt. Dale Elliott does a credible job of acting.

I really like Sprinter and I think it gave a different side to a non-American athlete. It really showed what he had up against him while still trying to go to school and do track and field. The Jamaican ascents were really strong. I had to turn on Closed Captions to make sure I was understanding what they were saying completely. I really enjoyed how they showed us who won the race at the end of the movie.

We absolutely loved this film and can truly see this becoming a cult classic. We have been raving about it to everyone we meet. It is just a shame that there is so little buzz about it in the UK and so few opportunities to view the film. Wonderful production, acting and the soundtrack is perfect - I hope this is being released as an album! More films like this please!!! Loved it!

You know the word keep it simple but real?!!!! Now that word applies nicely to this low budget Jem and I'm in no way or form am marketing that movie for any purpose other than pure movie entertainment as I see soooo many fake reviews made on here Imdb that are either doing it to promote a movie through its makers or actually incompetent enough to review movies which not everyone thinking himself good at it is actually that good or even good in the 1st place!

Sprinter isn't a movie that I will remember. It's a movie where I need to write a review immediately after seeing it otherwise I won't remember anything about it next week. It's just not that interesting as a story, often cliché, not that great of acting (actually pretty mediocre). The funny thing is that I read a reviewer saying the annoying thing were the subtitles. I thought they were the best thing of the movie because if you're not a Jamaican yourself you won't understand half of the movie.
