Movie Reviews

Baret News - 8/10 by Kam WilliamsA bittersweet tribute to a man of great faith who always opted to follow humbly in the footsteps of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
World Magazine - 8/10 by Laura FinchOn Wings of Eagles won't be the next Chariots, but it's a fair portrayal of a lesser-known yet powerful story.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 6/10 by Josh TerryOverall, the film's execution feels a little lukewarm, even though Eric Liddell's story still resonates.
South China Morning Post - 1/10 by James Marsh'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.
User Review - 10/10 by Emilie BTRULY INSPIRATIONAL! AN AMAZING FOLLOW-UP TO CHARIOTS OF FIRE
User Review - 10/10 by Kathy BA true story that I was totally unfamiliar with.. Recommended
User Review - 10/10 by Vincent LAs a movie lover, I frequently rely on movie critic and Academy Award performance to make a decision whether I would spend 2-3 hours on the selection. The "Chariots of Fire" has remained as my best movie ever seen, of which I can see my life was and is inspired by the movie and Eric Liddell - 1924 Paris Olympics winner - missionary's dedicated life to this world. Therefore I struggled a lot after seeing the movie review of SCMP of "The Final Race", the many unknown and re-discovered events of Liddell of his final race and life before the end of WWII. Should I go watching even though this review is so bad? I finally decided to watch this movie today. After watching this movie, there are two things that I want to do strongly. One, on the contrary, this near-epic movie was beautifully produced that I want to share with all my friends, despite the low attention. Two, I want to refute and defend this movie! The SCMP movie critic has done a un-deserving and unfair review that leads me to question whether he has dome some documentary readings of the life of Eric Liddell in this "Chariots of Fire" sequel before he wrote. Is he aware that the director and a research assistant has spent years of research and interviews with many living witnesses in China, U.K., Canada to bring this movie to the spotlight, though some have been sporadically found in Chinese written books?
User Review - 8/10 by Lisa HThis is a quiet film, but one well worth seeing for its reminder that each of us, in our own way, are called to rise up and do what we know to be right. Some storytelling tactics have likely changed historical details here. Sensitive viewers may be disturbed by torture scenes and a graphic death in the film. But for its fine acting, this movie look at a moment in history we hope will be left behind forever but that we can't afford to forget. A portrayal of one man's all-too-quick "race" through life, On Wings of Eagles is "the rest of the story" at its best.
User Review - 6/10 by Serge LGood true story that hurts. Decent acting and believable reenactments. The second world war strikes again.
