Tockinit not horrible nor great

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

John M Joseph This is by far one of the best Docs I have ever seen. Chris Bell really has a way of showing how miscued Steriods are or PED's in general. He has a way of showing how full of crap we are as a country. Don't get me wrong I love this Country but we are sick in a lot of ways. His parents seem like great people as is his family. Give this a watch if sports are your thing.

roddekker Hey! You wanna meet the "million-dollar" athletes who cheat (with steroids)?.Yes. Even if you're not an avid body-builder, I certainly think that this documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster*" is well-worth a view.This 2008 documentary really does open the viewer's eyes to how wide-spread the use of steroids (not only amongst athletes) actually is in the USA (and, of course, the rest of the world, as well).I definitely give director/co-writer, Chris Bell, a big hand of applause for the very professional attitude and well-informed nature of this 100-minute documentary.Bell certainly did a commendable job of covering all of the ground and getting as many relevant opinions (for his documentary) when it came to the pros and cons of regular steroid use (and, in some cases, the inevitable disastrous effects of this drug's prolonged use, too).

sam mclaughlin I liked the movie, it showed some interesting perspectives, but one fact bugged me more than anything else; the sheer number of different NFL team hats he wears. I know he wears a Colts, Saints, Chargers, Steelers and Raiders hat, and I think I am forgetting a few. This is the most troubling part of the film for me, as the credibility of someone who endorses multiple teams (within the same division no less) is far from stellar. I need someone with more time on their hands to get to the bottom of this mystery and let the world know who this cat really roots for. This is so completely irrelevant that I have to hope it was an inside joke or easter egg kind of deal, but i find it ridiculous.

runamokprods A challenging, very interesting documentary that is both personal and about societal issues. Chris Bell and his two brothers have all used steroids to help build their bodies. Chris has stopped, but his brothers have continued. This ambitious documentary takes on two issues at once, tying them together at the end. (Although this construction does make for some muddy patches in the middle, where the film's POV becomes a bit unclear.) First, the movie is a rejoinder to the knee jerk anti-steroid movement that (Bell argues pretty convincingly) has demonized a substance that is a lot less dangerous than we've been led to believe and certainly less so than alcohol, cigarettes, or sky-diving, all of which are legal, if dangerous personal choices. Bell points out the hypocrisy that we allow all sorts of other 'performance enhancing' but dangerous practices – like Air Force pilots being allowed to take Dexedrine to keep going, or models staving themselves. At the same time we sense Bell's ambivalence about the drug and his brothers' continued use of it. And ultimately we come to understand why. Bell is questioning the bigger issue of an America that says if you aren't the biggest, the strongest, the smartest, the richest, the most beautiful, you're somehow deficient. A country that has such scorn for athletes doing whatever it takes to win, also creates a 'do whatever it takes to win' mentality in life. How much we wink at airbrushed photos of models, politicians who lie and make up facts, people who use plastic surgery to look young and beautiful, etc. These are important issues, and by dealing with how they personally they effected himself and his family, Bell manages to avoid coming off preachy or holier than thou. He's just trying to make sense of the mixed messages we've ail grown up with' "Play fair" but "America loves a winner and hates a loser".
