Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Where is Owens in all of this? By the end of Race, we don't know much more about him as an individual than we did when the movie began.

rotten:
Race is the most timid, lackadaisical movie that could have been made out of potentially classic material.

rotten:
The bare necessities are there, the performances are competent, and there are some strong moments but Race suffers from a lack of ambition. It's too safe and that quality mutes its impact and limits its ability to be more than a history lesson.

fresh:
A wallpaper-thin but sentimentally effective hagiography.

fresh:
A glossy, superficial biopic set in a historical context that begs for more, Race can at least claim to be one of the two best movies ever made about Olympic hero/Hitler-embarrasser Jesse Owens.
