Even through Prefontaine's obviousness, we feel its force.

Prefontaine gets to the finish line in reasonable shape despite plenty of sloppy running along the way.
Variety
Rating: 2/4 --
Steve Prefontaine must have been something special -- everyone says so -- but there's no magic on the screen.

TV Guide
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Though it is always pleasant and agreeable, this film has the bland and undemanding texture that characterizes movies made for network TV.

Rating: 2/5 --
Disappointingly colorless and squeaky-clean.
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
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.

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

Product Description:
A naturalistic dramatization of record breaking distance runner Steve Prefontaine's struggle to win, culminating in the 1972 Munich Olympics, this film favors documentary-style character development more than conventional "sports film" hero worship. A feature-film breakthrough for director James and co-producer/cinematographer Peter Gilbert (the creative team behind HOOP DREAMS), as well as star Leto, previously known as the hunky Jordan Catalano on TV's "My So-Called Life."
