I admit that it wasn't till about a couple months ago that I heard about him (Terry Fox) through a different YouTube channel that impressed me. I did my research as I usually do when a name grabs my attention and I say again that I never heard of him. I ended up watching a few documentaries on him and ordered the movie without a prewatch of it but I also like Shawn Ashmore as well. I was really impressed with the movie and do say that his courage was huge.
I think they left out a key point or two but for a 90 minute movie they did an amazing job. The relationship between Terry and his buddy Doug did take a beating and they were mainly not on speaking terms till his younger brother showed up and took some pressure off of Doug. I think that wasn't focused on hear but I understand why they tip toes around the topic as to pay honor to him. His cause was well above the call of duty but think he bit off more than he could handle too soon. I think this movie proved that matter and the help of the hotel owner who stepped in to help with donations was also well handled.
This movie I do say was powerful and the actor was well trained with Terry Fox and his cause. This movie I think could have been a touch better showing more of his struggle to achieve his goal and not focus so much on the running part. I think they should have had a bit of the pressure placed on their friendship and less on the scenes showing him running.
In all they did a great job in portraying Terry Fox and the positive attention he started receiving as he ran through bigger towns and cities. This is one movie I can proudly say was money well spent and it does a great job holding your attention. Shawn Ashmore did a great job and his portrayal of Terry was impressive.
