ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

BobbyBo02 Where can I start with this movie. As a long time wrestler and now a Coach I can not stand this movie. I hate it with a passion. Have I cut weight have I seen others cut weight? Yes! I had a tough father who was my coach knew a lot of wrestlers that were in the same situation. All this sport did was give a bad name to all wrestlers everywhere. The weight cutting was over kill. When he shows the 8 year old cutting weight is also over kill. Never in my life have I seen a child cutting weight. NEVER and if I did that coach would probably be in a trash can somewhere because I don't know of one youth coach that would see that as acceptable behavior.Second how could I ever say that this is a good wrestling movie. The kid works hard and quits in the end. What message are we sending to the young people in this country that its OK to quit and not finish what we started because its just to hard. Guess what wrestling isn't a sport for the weak and were telling our kids that its OK to quit.Sacrifice is part of any sport. There needs to be a film that shows my favorite sport for what it is the greatest sport in the world. A sport that shows young men and women (yes I said women. Its an Olympic sport now folks) what they are made of. Any wrestler who enjoys this movie no longer has my respect.

KingOfLullaby Although, yes, some of the choices in this movie were difficult to understand for most people, it is because they have never been through what Leo went through. As a fellow wrestler this movie appealed immensely to me because i could identify with everything the main character was going through. The dropping weight, the dehydration, and the competition on the mat was depicted flawlessly in this movie because it was made by someone who understands what wrestlers go through. This is not an attack on you personally tommyboy16, but unless you are to go through stuff like dropping weight and starving, and training like that which was depicted in the movie, it will be difficult to understand, but that is not a reflection of the quality of the movie. The overall message appeals to everybody, but the little details of the experiences of the main character will most likely appeal to athletes more. That's all, enough said.

tommyboy-16 A decent movie that makes you think about athletics in general from a parent's perspective. This could be about parents wanting anything that they value for their child.I felt the Dad was a good dad that was making the best with the hand delt him. He did not push his son without caring for him or without some reason. Some make the Dad look awful and that is not the truth. None of them had a great home life. He was not even the stereotypical father that was living through his son's victories becasue he was state champ himself. He just wanted his son to have a college education, that he did not have. He wanted more for his son than a mining job like him.The wrestling was very good but you don't see that much sports action. I gave this movie a 7. I only gave it a seven for the fact that some of the choices were not how I think a human in that situation would choose. I also feel there were some situations in the movie not explained or were not real. The wrestling was real but some of the situations did not come off to me as real. The movie seemed to have an identiy crisis, it did not know what it wanted to be.

bauerr Reversal is a movie that needs to be seen by anybody that has anything to do with the sport of wrestling, and even those who don't. It is a touching plot that tells the truth of so many true life stories of those in the sport. Reversal lets those who have no idea what it is like to be a wrestler, grasp the basic concept and what it takes and what a wrestler goes through. This movie is great. SEE IT!!!!
