Dan Comer The Ringer 04/25/2023
Brink! is a coming-of-age underdog story that succeeds through style despite featuring overly Y2K lingo and the peer-pressure tropes that were baked into every early DCOM. Go to Full Review

A standard issue wholesome teen conflict movie with a likeable protagonist and some pretty impressive inline skating action, but not a shred of anything original. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 29 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Ed R Feb 12 Absolutely classic nostalgia! Soul Skater for life! See more 07/05/2024 All time favorite classic. I would give it a 5 because it’s my personal favorite but there are definitely some things that they messed up on. See more 08/29/2023 It's Disney Channel's 3rd original tv movie This one they take to the extreme fresh coming off the 90s in terms of professional roller skating 4 high schoolers are best friends who skate for fun then they run into X Skaters The X-Blade Skaters are professionals that get paid and get magazine photoshoots yet they don't have the best manners Both groups become rivals so when the main group member, Andy finds out his family is in financial strains he thinks about trying out as a professional X-Blade Skater for the prize money But Andy has to keep it to himself Surprisingly this DCOM addresses gender and race issues next to having some impressive skating stunts The father even gives some nice sound advice It's good to have a sports film saying don't let others define you and skating should be a passion and not just for profit See more cees t 03/14/2022 Formulaic drama but makes '90s inline skating look cool. 6.5/10 See more 06/10/2021 Ah yes thrilling movie that started the trend of sports based movies to come from Disney Channel really brought in a slew of real world elements that makes you reminisce on those moments in your own life, while this aspect of the movie keeps you engaged, it barely outweighs the weak story beats, pasting and character depth in the adult characters especially when the adults are required to move along development of the kids that we are centered on. Nonetheless this movie is fun and really does a great job in showing the world of the sport. See more Read all reviews
