Bennett's War

It's not going to blow anyone's mind but Bennett's war was a solid delivery for a movie. It's a combination of a sports movie and a inspiring tale about living your best life. I can honestly say that I've never seen another movie due motorcross as good as this movie. Well, it's not like it's mind blowing it's just that if you love motorcross this film does it as well as any other. Seen better but... It's a good watchable movie if you have nothing else on the table.

An inspirational feel good story about an injured army guy over coming odds. How can you not enjoy a show like that? I've seen worse acting, plots and movies on blockbuster films, so slow your roll on leaving the bad reviews. See the movie and leaving feeling good. :)

If you see the movie, you'll understand. It's not about what you have to do or can do, it's what you want to do and what you have to give to achieve it. Legend has it that in the past they call it effort and tenacity. Only those who know that the important thing is not that you have and that you get it, but how much you give to those you love. For me the pain only reminds me that I must do more, my daughter sees the effort to stand day by day, I help those who can help me and that makes me great. I'm not a Veteran, my admiration and respect, because they went for an idea, a cause, sometimes it seems meaningless until you remember that you had to do in school to maintain respect and power. Some were for the War, some for humanitarian aid, but it was they represent me in my comfort, in mi home. There was no need to go to a desert, I just made a safety mistake, ups!! Two years in a chair and I'm standing and my daughter saw me, she doesn't see someone who gives up, my doctor says the same thing as you, but he doesn't take my helplessness, Sees the movie well and comes back and thinks. It's not Avengers, but for me, it is.

Predictable and formulaic yet uplifting and heartfelt.

Michael Roark stars as Marshal Bennett, a former motorcross champion, who tries a comeback after suffering a horrific injury as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan. Allison Paige, Ali Afshar, and Trace Adkins add well to the mix in supporting roles.

Overall, the movie is not going to win any Academy Awards but I found it engaging and entertaining.

If youre a movie fan, this is pretty much what youd expect from a film like this; A story, some okay acting, and actually some heartfelt moments that make you feel for the main character. And in that sense its not so bad.

However if youre a true motocross fan, you will be disappointed. Here's why. Theres not even a mention of any current pros names. They literally call them different names and just refer to them as there number. The entire movie was shot at Glenn Helen raceway even though they try to play it off like it wasnt. There are tons of inconsistencies with the dirtbike racing scenes. From GoPro footage that goes from a Honda (red bike) to suzuki (yellow bike) and that hes actually riding a KTM (orange bike) all the way to literally photoshopping over actual pro race footage. Footage from 250 and 450 classes in whats supposed to be the same race. A two stroke at a pro national!? The only bike maintenance required is lubing your chain. And just so many shots that felt so repetitive. I get its not a youtube video, its a movie with a plot, but for a dirtbike movie, its really bad. Not much riding actually in the movie and for a movie about riding dirtbikes. I had low expectations for the acting, but it wasnt so horrible. However i had high hopes for the dirbike portions of the film, and i was disappointed. Maybe one day we'll have a well filmed motocross movie
