While the acting, score and filming are all polished and solid, this is a difficult movie to watch if you have read Jeremy Jackson's excellent novel and/or know anything about running.
The movie tries hard to capture the spirit and inner turmoil of Kevin. However the running scenes are laughable and most of the original story-line/characters of the novel are either altered or left out completely.
Those who haven't read the book or see running as merely recreational will probably find enough positives to embrace the film. If you're in love with the book, take a pass on this rendition.
