 REVIEWED
Another thumbs up movie seen and this is based on a true story. Reading the details from IMDB, it was 90% made up ! meaning that the true parts is only 10%. What a shame ! But it really make good entertainment and good movie thou.

The real part of the story is that Eddie Edwards did exist and he was the "star" in 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic Games alongside with another surprise team which was the Bobsleigh from Jamaica also wiith a movie "Cool Runnings" depicting their particpation. Also real was that Eddie strated ski Jumping at a much later age (beyond 22 years old) whereelse others started earlier than 6 years old !

Eddie did made the 90m jump in the Calgary Olympics and that was the first time in his life thou it was a matter of life and death for many athletes. Real also that he finished last in all the event where his personal best in the 90m jump was 71.5 m. Imagine the current record for the event is 251 m !

Now the disappointing part is which was actually the best part of the film was that the character played by Hugh Jackman including his former coach, Chris Walken were fictitious characters ! To me, the movie was very entertaining as HJ was in it. That scene where he was with CW was powerful indeed. And who could forget the part when he showed Eddie how to be better in mid air after the jump with reference to Bo Derek !

Aside from the "dissapointment" part of the film mentioned above, dont forget who Eddie was. His courage and determination were above everything. Very entertaining movie and not forget courageous too.
