Critic Reviews for Champions
All Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (0) | DVD (1)
Begins in tragedy and ends in triumph.
Nothing special, but it's enjoyably manipulative and aided immesurably by Hurt's typically superb performance.
Audience Reviews for Champions
Sincere, top-notch performances from Hurt, Edward Woodward (as Champion's understanding boss), Jan Francis and Ben Johnson add credibility to John Irvin's wonderfully made film.
What the synopsis fails to mention is that Champion's horse, Aldaniti (who plays himself in the movie) also suffers a potentially career ending injury and must recover from that while Bob Champion is dealing with his cancer and the treatments.
