Complementary of both the cinematography and the acting

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2000)

Fine performances by Ben Cross and Ian Charleson. The drama captures the drive and determination of two men, one the son of a businessman, one the son of a minister. The former believed that athletics was his chance for personal glory, the latter that he would glorify God.
The cinamatography is spectacular, showing in vivid, if somewhat contrived, fashion the elation of victory.
