thiago S @Thiagostone Jun 26, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jason P. @FloridaMovieCritic Jun 19, 2026 Slow methodical movie, a great movie if you do not like a lot of dialogue. Slightly unrealistic when most of the skiers in this look to be middle-aged, or appear to be older than what they’re supposed to be I guess. Not sure how old Robert Redford is supposed to be in this movie, but he looks about 40. Movie doesn’t delve into character development very much, not really sure why they shot the scene with the father, and the girl back in his hometown. It was OK to watch on an eight hour flight that I could not sleep on. See more Monica B @Chartreusea Mar 13, 2026 Though it may seem slow and possibly boring compared to modern movies, this one is worth the watch, if just to see Redford play a bratty little jerk, and for the neat ski shots. The ending gives one something to think about. See more mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Jan 11, 2026 What am I missing here? This thing drags like no other "action" film I've seen. Gene Hackman is completely wasted, appearing for about a minute in the first hour. You forget he's in the film. Redford plays a conceited punk that you couldn't care less about. Any strong performances here from supporting cast? Nope, none at all. 85% fresh? Really? Why? Just comes off as lethargic and not well made. See more Steve B @RT36942293 Jan 4, 2026 Redford at his arguable best. Here he is not the incredibly handsome. charming, lead that he was in all those classics. He is a smug, self-centered athlete who is only concerned about his performance. The downhill racing sequences are the best ever filmed in a major movie. Watch for his response to his hometown girlfriend after their afternoon tryst in a parked car. She lays out her plans and dreams and worries for her future. Tells you all you need to know about this character. See more Matthew D @OceanSage Nov 7, 2025 Robert Redford is very handsome and charismatic as this arrogant jerk pro skier. The Swedish actress is beautiful, but a shallow character. The shots of snow, trees, and mountains are lovely, but creative cinematography means nothing when the script is atrocious. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a movie this slow and plotless. It’s hard to care when you can barely follow anyone’s names or aspirations. Most of the film is shots of each guy trying to ski down this difficult course and crashing. Gene Hackman’s coach is pretty good, but like Redford, they are given nothing to work with here. A totally forgettable film unfortunately. See more Read all reviews
