I'm sad to say that this film was seen mainly because it was a new and I was running desperately low on things to see. It looked like it might be interesting. But being as I'm terrible with motion sickness, the prospect of watching a film where a significant proportion was going to be bobbing up and down didn't leave my stomach with much enthusiasm.
I wasn't left with much to say about this one. Again, it seems wrong to say I didn't like a story that's based on true life events, but I came away with very little to rave about. It's an interesting insight into how competitive pressure from sponsors and the team change the way events can go, but the film itself wasn't overly memorable.

Gus is a very strong female character despite the way it looked at the beginning of the book. She learns to rely on herself & who she really can trust with some rather shocking results. Unfortunatly the book dragged for me. The ending was spectacular, but the lead up to it seems to ramble on and on with not much happening. With that being said though the character dynamics are what really made the book for me. It was by no means awful, it just had the potential to be so much more than it turned out to be.
