Leave your thoughts about The Flying Scotsman.
| The Sun (UK)Johnny VaughanIt's stirring stuff from start to finish which will make our friends from north of the border proud to be Scottish. Go See. |
| Sympatico.caAngela BaldassarreA true-life inspirational tale of about a young man who defies all odds, "The Flying Scotsman" is disappointingly devoid of emotion with a script that never manages to fully convey the personal demons floating about. |
| Houston Community NewspapersGary Brown...a real gem of an inspirational sports movie. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEngaging, impressively directed and superbly acted drama that succeeds as both an inspirational sports flick and a darkly observed study of mental illness. |
| Entertainment InsidersEric LurioIf you like sports films, this is worth the bucks. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsThere's real triumph to Obree's story, and real adversity, too, but the film contents itself with the pretend versions of both. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaBoasts exciting competitive track cycling footage. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonA sports bio movie that I really enjoyed about a sport and sports hero I barely knew existed: the World Hour Record competition for bicyclists and its gutsy, tormented and most unusual champion, Graeme Obree. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunFairly dull. Better to spend your money on that other Flying Scotsman -- Obree's autobiography. |
| Christian Science MonitorM. K. TerrellThis modest mix of inspiration, humor, and near tragedy manages to be suspenseful, even though we pretty much know the outcome. |
