4 Minute Mile

A by-the-numbers tale of inspiration through perspiration.

4 Minute Mile at least has the decency to acknowledge that it's aware of its underdog sports-movie clichs, especially the ones that made The Karate Kid such an '80s classic.

More than one interior scene looks underlit for effect,but that's at least something else to think about as the film goes through its paces.

A lazily derivative underdog sporting yarn, 4 Minute Mile treads tired ground.
