Heart of Champions Ratings & Reviews
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Mailer's movie ... begins and progresses with just about every dramatic beat we've come to anticipate from this kind of story.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
A standard-issue sports movie on the hoity-toity pastime of rowing wastes the talents of Michael Shannon.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An overstuffed, undercooked and hackneyed underdog story that's too unfocused, preachy and cheesy.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Frustratingly pedestrian storytelling, with Gjaja much too reliant on cliches to connect the dots on this underdog feature.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Perhaps a documentary examining these events may have been a better approach, as this lackluster fact-based approach fails to captivate or inspire.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
Mailer's glossy film contains all the expected melodrama that hardcore fans of sports movies have come to expect.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
The strong, clear lessons in teamwork and leadership buoy this sports drama a bit, but, in failing to take its own advice, the whole endeavor ultimately capsizes.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
Director Michael Mailer isn't challenging Ingmar Bergman here; it's a good enough movie to have a positive effect on young viewers. A crew boat gliding across the water in perfect synchronicity is, as the saying goes, a "curiously satisfying experience."
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
In the realm of sports movies, Heart of Champions is a bit of a stinker...
Phantom Tollbooth
Marie Asner
Michael Shannon does a good job as a coach who has seen better times and is trying his best to regain himself.
Variety
Joe Leydon
"Heart of Champions" clocks in at 120 minutes, a long slog during which the passage of time and the accumulation of clichés are constantly felt.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The sequences on the water are exciting, although outside the boat, the film relies on melodramatic contrivances rather than character depth.
Featuring Film
Wendy Shreve
The film belongs to Michael Shannon. When he appears on screen, you feel the urge to sit at attention. His commanding voice and those laser-like eyes elevate the movie from being a standard sports story.
