Movie Digest

Tinayi Wu,  a running champion, loses to his opponent, to recover, he returns to his home, where he discovers the problems that his opponent faces in his life. Watch the movie to see what happens next.

The Feel-Good Part

The movie’s running scenes are the feel-good element, and the way they’ve been directed is wonderful, giving the film a dramatic force. Along with this, it delves into the concept of failure and how it may serve as a motivator for someone to succeed in life. Also, the way they depicted Hao Chaoyue and Tinayi Wu’s friendly competition growing into a friendly rivalry is excellent, demonstrating that the character arc was followed accurately throughout the film.

The Disappointing Factor

It’s intended to be an inspirational film, but it just feels like any other sports film. Some scenes are extraneous, and as a result, the movie feels longer than it should be. Another disappointment is the lacklustre acting skills, which appear cliched at times.

In-Depth Analysis

The movie is about the driving force and the relationship between a coach and a pupil that transforms into a competitive rivalry and conveys a message of encouragement, unlike any other sports film. It is also free of the term “Never Stop,” which is a motivational phrase in and of itself.

Star Power

The movie has no star power because the acting talents are mediocre and it doesn’t feel fresh.

Overall Opinion

Overall, the movie is good for a one-time viewing; it doesn’t provide anything unique; it’s exactly like any other sports movie, with the same goal, which is to motivate you to achieve your best in life. And never give up on the obstacles that stand in your way.
