Los Angeles Times

Though it is always pleasant and agreeable, this film has the bland and undemanding texture that characterizes movies made for network TV.

Nothing more than a glorified, profanity-sprinkled made-for-TV movie, from the cast right down to the shallow treatment of its subject.

Steve Prefontaine must have been something special -- everyone says so -- but there's no magic on the screen.

New York Times

Disappointingly colorless and squeaky-clean.

One of the better sports movies to come from Hollywood in recent years.

USA Today

The Super-16mm film stock gives the film a grainy look that blends in artfully with the vintage videotape of ABC's '72 Olympics coverage.

With its moving final scenes and well-developed subject, the story of Steve Prefontaine is a decidedly well-told American tale.

Chicago Sun-Times

Here is a sports movie in the tradition of the best sportswriting, where athletes are portrayed warts and all. You do not have to be nice to win races, but you have to be good.

Now Steve Prefontaine can be immortalized for the complex and shining star that he was.

A touching, poignant movie with a great performance by Leto
