Eric Liddell, China's first gold medalist, returns to war-torn China.

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

On Wings of Eagles won't be the next Chariots, but it's a fair portrayal of a lesser-known yet powerful story.

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.

Overall, the film's execution feels a little lukewarm, even though Eric Liddell's story still resonates.

Rated: 2.5/4

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

Remarkable story of a remarkable man, who stood up to the brutal Japanese during WW2. Uplifting and inspiring film of Eric Liddell, The Flying Scotsman

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.
