Editorial Review: Product Description: Inspirational and entertaining, PREFONTAINE is another acclaimed success from the makers of HOOP DREAMS. It's the true-life story of legendary track star Steve Prefontaine, the exciting and sometimes controversial "James Dean of Track," whose spirit captured the heart of the nation! Cocky, charismatic, and tough, "Pre" was a running rebel who defied rules, pushed limits ... and smashed records ... in an incredible against-all-odds quest for Olympic gold! Now a major motion picture, the triumphs and heartbreaks of this unforgettable champion will have you riveted from beginning to end! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Forgotten Comet, While Others Mere StarsA longtime runner, myself, who'd forgotten about this rising star in the runner's world, can testify to "Prefontaine" being the best athlete bio-pic of recent memory that surprises, informs and inspires in the best sense of the word.You'll lace up the running shoes after this film.

It entertains totally. Jared Leto does a splendid job of maintaining the center of attention for almost the entire film.

I say this because Prefontaine's ambitions and self assurance seem adolescent at first. Like many young high school seniors, he knows everything and no one can tell him anything. ...

Rating:  - I don't know how anyone can like this movieI've read most of the 5 star reviews and they just baffle me. This movie doesn't even compare to the other movie on Steve Prefontaine, Without Limits. The acting is very poor, the writing is horrible, and the production values are atrocious. It is also much much less factually actuate than Without Limts (for specific reasons why read the the 1 star review, A Customer). People who say that Jared Leto resembles Pre live in a reality that I'll never know. He looks and acts nothing like Pre. Again not even ...
