Downhill Racer doesn't always work... As a look at how [Robert] Redford's character and those orbiting him spend their time between runs, however, it's superb. May 30, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

An intriguing film that balances skiing and the majesty of Alpine scenery with an absorbing story of hero Robert Redford, young American innocent abroad. Dec 10, 2007 | Full Review…

The location skiing sequences, revealing Ritchie's background and interest in documentary styles, are simply astounding, even for those with little interest in the sport. Jan 26, 2006 | Full Review…

The movie avoids the cheerleading approach of today`s sports sagas (Rocky, etc.), but it has a fascinating ending, and is very satisfying. May 30, 2018 | Full Review…

This skiing potboiler from Robert Redford's production company, Wildwood, has the whiff of vanity about it. May 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A sports movie that tweaks the formula just enough to make a personal, thoughtful film without refuting genre expectation. May 30, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Redford's matinee looks are more than just Hollywood casting in this context; the film never says it in so many words, but it's clear that Chappellet's popularity is as much for his good looks as for his success. Mar 1, 2018 | Full Review…
