Andrea Beach Common Sense Media The acting and production quality are overall very good, but many viewers might feel like they're watching character types do pretty much what you'd expect them to do instead of helping us get to know them. Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Laura Finch WORLD On Wings of Eagles won't be the next Chariots, but it's a fair portrayal of a lesser-known yet powerful story. Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News A bittersweet tribute to a man of great faith who always opted to follow humbly in the footsteps of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Rated: 3/4 Nov 5, 2017 Full Review Josh Terry Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Overall, the film's execution feels a little lukewarm, even though Eric Liddell's story still resonates. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 3, 2017 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post 'The Last Race' seems less interested in Eric Liddell's story than in pouncing on yet another opportunity to dramatise Japanese wartime atrocities against the Chinese. ... Poorly conceived and wretchedly executed. Rated: 0.5/5 Jun 13, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member wonderful story about a man who placed his loyalty to God above all others Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. Clumsy, one-dimensional cloying sentimentality stands in for any real emotional depth. There is no real narrative arc or dramatic tension. Incredibly dull. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Good to know there was such a real hero during Japan's invasion in China. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/29/18 Full Review Audience Member TRULY INSPIRATIONAL! AN AMAZING FOLLOW-UP TO CHARIOTS OF FIRE Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A true story that I was totally unfamiliar with.. Recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow paced and didn't quite give homage to such a man who was a hero to many. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
