Although many have preconceived notions about Victor Salva, I believe this film is brilliant, a person's criminal past shouldn't dictate how well they produce a film.
Scott Mechlowicz and Nick Nolte perform incredibly, I just wish Scott Mechlowicz starred in more films, he is talented.
This film follows the journey of the famous athlete Dan Millman. It's set in University and depicts the early years of his life. Although it should not be mistaken for a true story, it's based on true events, which is very different.
This film will inspire you to strive, thrive, and prosper. Although some parts might seem somewhat cliché, it's beautifully done and the best things in life will always seem cliché since we spend more time dreaming than we do living. I'm pretty sure there isn't a success story we haven't heard, it all begins with working hard, but this film is so much more, it's deep.
Enjoy this film for what it is, not what you want it to be, it's thought-provoking and inspirational.
