Cancer Major 
|
|
|
NOTES |
From the
true story of English jockey who had cancer and |
|
fought to
get back into racing. Despite a very good cast this is a low key,
dull treatment of the subject. Sort of: this is a true story, we're
telling it how it was so why should we entertain you? Even so
we get speeding horses, and speeding cars with a heavy
musical accompaniment. The film is too busy getting
everyone into the frame, most obvious in the final sequence
when everyone who's been seen so far has to be shown
watching Bob Champion winning the Grand National. |
|
Hurt is
superb as usual and not afraid to look really awful |
|
following
the effects of chemotherapy. |
