Watch Road to Victory For Free

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Great Film overall

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Road to Victory is one of the best films I've seen lately. It was an extremely heartfelt and genuine film. The actors were very believable and excellent at conveying the message of the movie. I had empathy towards Elliot and Anna because I could relate to their situation. This type of situation is often seen in reality, which made the movie even more touching.The film really demonstrated the reality of relationships. I liked how the couple didn't have a perfect beginning, but stayed together and worked through their problems. The movie made me contemplate about life and what it means to be with someone. Road to Victory is a film that I will always remember.

I think this movie is excellent in so many ways I had to give it a 10, which is something I rarely do when evaluating anything. I really liked the creative and realistic manner in which the subject matter comes to light and is subsequently dealt with. Both main characters, Julia and Elliot, display the required range of emotion for a couple in this situation with a conviction that draws one in. I could not help but feel empathy for both of them. I was sorry to see it end. I hope that the success this film has had so far on the festival circuit will be followed by equal success in a release that will reach a wider audience. This is a movie that must be seen. Think The Longest Yard meets Disclosure. Why? There is plenty of football coverage for all you football fans. Disclosure was groundbreaking for its time, just as Road to Victory is for our time.

This is such a good movie! OK, this has got to be the most realistic relationship movie I have ever seen. I kept changing my mind about the couple the entire way through the movie. Sometimes I liked them, and then I thought they were horrible, and I wanted them to break up, and then I wanted them to stay together but thought they would break up, and then the ending was so sad, but it had this note of hope to it. I did not like the strip club stuff. I hate the way women degrade themselves for money or power over men, but I know they do it, and in this case, it totally fit the main character, Anna, who I just wanted to shake some sense into! The other main character, Elliot, made me cry a couple of times. I just wanted to be there for him, but in real life I probably would have been too scared because he was so strong, and even when he was quiet, you could tell how angry he was. I hope I never have a relationship like this, where we're mean to each other because we too insecure to know what to say.I think that a lot of young couples should see this movie.

I think that most people will generally like this film, as the ultimate message is universal. But, I think it really speaks on a much more profound level to those of us who have shared some of the character's experiences.When I was in college, I found out my boyfriend of 3 years was using steroids, and that he'd been using the entire time we'd been together, and before. He was buff but he wasn't a freak, and his job was as a personal trainer since he'd been an athlete when he was in college, so I never really suspected.To make a long story short, he started having health problems (like we see in the film), and the effects on the relationship were really bad. I won't betray that relationship now by giving details, but I stuck by him through all of it. When I finally found out about the steroid use, I confronted him, but he refused to talk about it. I told him to make a choice and he told me would stop.Two months later, I found out he'd lied; he chose the drugs over me. I left and never looked back, and this movie brought back a lot of emotions I thought I'd left behind. I really wanted the main character to confess, but he never did. But, I realize, because of my experience, that someone who uses steroids never does, (unless they're a retired pro athlete with a book to sell...Jose Canseco...Bill Romanowski)But what really got to me was how much the female lead (Anna) came to care about the main character (Elliot) and how much he wanted to let her in but couldn't. For me, it was the other side of the argument that I had never wanted to understand.It wasn't until the main character was confronted with the big picture, and given the ultimatum of choosing between a family and pro sport, (those he loved vs. the drugs) that he finally realized what he was doing. True to form, he never admits it, in fact he has to spend the rest of his life hiding from it, but he does accept responsibility.The movie really boils down to asking these two characters to examine the choices they are making with their lives, and the effect was that it made me, the audience do the same. Elliot says at the end of the movie that he "chose right."It really made me think about the number of times that I could say that I chose right about something so important.
