Leave your thoughts about Heart of Champions.
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievMailer’s glossy film contains all the expected melodrama that hardcore fans of sports movies have come to expect. Others may wince at the predictability of the plot but are bound to find at least some respite in Shannon’s magnetic performance. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAs inspirational college sports movies go, Heart of the Champions doesn’t go, or row, nearly far enough off the beaten path. It’s every bit as boilerplate as its generic title might indicate. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreAs film subjects, college romances and the trials and tribulations of college life may be mundane in the extreme, even set against the Sport of Winklevii. But Shannon is always so good you tend to lose track of all that when he’s on screen. He’s just not on it enough to save the movie. |
| User ReviewMauro_Lanari(Mauro Lanari) Numbing, arguably the limpest sports drama I've ever seen. I suppose it's due to Michael Shannon, here also producer, with his physical as much as brooding and thoughtful approach, to make him the wrong person for this genre of movie. |
