Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Michael WilmingtonAlthough his film biography features beautiful production design and more than 1,400 costumes, it is unfortunately perfunctory, flat, and predictable.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 3/10 by Jay ScottThe film is a witless, tedious contrivance based on the life of the Canadian rower Ned Hanlan, who lived a century ago.
User Review - 10/10 by Charles MThis is one of my favourite movies of all time. Action, romance, comedy, competition, a few drunken scenes. I'd argue it is Nicolas Cage's best film, something he should be proud of.

User Review - 6/10 by MEC rHoly *PIIIIPPP* a young Nicolas Cage O.o what tha!? well funny actually ^^
User Review - 6/10 by Tom DA decent period piece, early film for Nicolas Cage. It's about as entertaining as a movie about a sculler can be.
User Review - 6/10 by Josh Ga typical 80s one with great soundtrack. the story is attractive to me somehow, i m a sculler.
User Review - 6/10 by Haytham KSympathique film de sport sur la modernisation des techniques d'aviron, The Boy in Blue n'est rien de plus qu'un vehicule pour la star naissante Nicolas Cage, encore une fois excellent dans le role d'un chien fou canadien. Dommage que la mise en scene soit aussi impersonnelle et que le score de Roger Webb, le compositeur des Monty Python, soit aussi inaudible pour toute personne allergique aux synthes 80's.
User Review - 4/10 by Luke HA slow flick with a decent story that is ruined by incredibly cheesy dialog and a very '80s soundtrack.
User Review - 4/10 by Scott AOkay film, but let's get right the facts. The score is childish, almost sounds like the score used on your average episode of He-Man!!! The acting is bad: even Cage and Plummer come off as awful. It looks like it was filmed by a High School film class; very generic looking. While the film is rated R, it really isn't at all violent and no language as far as I can remember, just the two leading ladies Dale and Melody Anderson show some skin, but I think this would easily be PG-13 today, so don't think the movie warrants the rating. I guess it's kind of interesting learning how crazy these sport was back then, not that it's very good, but how much behind the scenes gambling went along with it. It's fun to see Cage in an early role, and the film itself is never boring, it just looks very cheap.
