Review of 4 Minute Mile (2014) by Mel D — 02 Jul 2014

When I watched 4 Minute Mile, I thought it was just another cheesy sports film, but couldn't have been more wrong. The film starts with an incredibly dramatic opening and then the intensity builds and builds until I was so caught up in the film, it felt like I was actually there watching Drew run.

Then the ending took a turn I did not expect and I was a sobbing mess. It was so shocking and the acting felt real. I mean, kudos to Kelly Blatz because he had me totally convinced that he was Drew. I really enjoyed the ending.

I felt that there was closure for Drew and his brother, and that Drew felt he could finally move away from his problems and that they wouldn't control him. Overall, the film was fantastic and it's one of my new favorite movies.
