      Audience Member This dreadful film is <i>almost</i> bad enough to be entertaining. Stupid plot, bad fight scenes, painful acting.... it's all here. Watching Ken Shamrock try to act is kind of like watching a pig try to fly, and he's not even the worst actor in this thing. Best dialog: Sgt. Pepper, police woman (seriously, that's her name): "I just can't be a cop anymore." Police captain: "Aww, come on. Please?" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Danny Trejo made me laugh, but other then that it was really boring. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great movie of a real life that sounds like fiction. THe fact that Aldaniti recovered to full racing health after such an injury is amazing in itself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A quintessential feel-good movie that has been forgotten. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a truly great story of true life triumph over adversty. John Hurt puts in a mesmerizing performance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member this is my favorite film ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
