LachedTbnr 03/06/2024 Best true story about track ever. See more Je E 05/06/2023 Humorless, boring downer. There must be at least a thousand better sports movies. See more mauro l @Mauro_Lanari 01/08/2019 Sports drama in which the dramatic element is as false as in any Rocky or Creed movie. (Mauro Lanari) See more 09/08/2017 If you were or are a high school runner, college runner, or were ever at any point even a slightly competitive (or self-respecting) runner, please avoid this like the plague. Running is almost a sub-plot in this movie, despite the misleading title, "4 minute mile." The running bits are seriously asinine and the story is so phony and unbelievable (~50s 400m kid bumps to the 1600m and runs 4:14 in the first race they show). As someone who spent high school, college, and post-college as a competitive runner, this movie is insulting and embarrassing to the sport. It gets 1 star instead of 1/2 star because the acting is mostly solid. If you don't know the first thing about running, this might be entertaining. Have fun. See more 10/27/2016 As sub 4:30 miler. This movie irks me as one reviewer pointed out the training methods are ridiculous. Interval training cannot be the primary aspect to training and he is a little too built to be a 1600 runner. no pure 400 runner would jump to the mile. Or be able to run 10 miles at 5 minute pace as coleman elludes to early in the film. The thing that stuck out to me the most is how non chalantly they think a highschooler can run sub 4. Considering less than 10 american highachoolers have EVER accomplished that feat . A much better running movie is "Prefontaine " See more 08/11/2016 Sports drama that isn't quite paint by numbers with its plot, although the usual angst surrounding the lead athlete has familiar themes.
