Just watched the former college football star and professional football and baseball player and Christian role-model Tim Tebow produced movie, Run the Race today. The movie premiered last Friday with over $2 million in box office receipts after the first weekend. It is currently showing in theaters this week.
Race to Run is PG-rated, faith-based and is a sports-themed movie. It centers on two high school brothers,
David and Zach, who are living on their own after their mother died and their
father, Michael, abandoned them.
The story revolves around high school football (of course) and
track. The two brothers are both
hard-working athletes who are intent on getting out their small poor rural Southern
community. Both are football players.
Dave had a serious head injury earlier and he is one of the team’s
managers. Zach is the star quarterback of his high school football team.
The acting is very good and believable. It is a story of dealing with the ups and
downs of life, with forgiveness, dedication, love and hope.
It is a wholesome movie, in contrast with what is being
produced by Hollywood today. It is a
fast-paced movie with interesting plot twists and turns. It is entertaining as well as uplifting.
The movie could be summarized with this one verse:
"I have fought well. I have finished the race, and I have been faithful." ~ 2 Timothy 4:7
I would recommend the movie and give it 5 of 5 stars
*****.
