I love real touching stories with great motivation not to give up and overcome. Dynamic, stunningly beautiful and happy! And the protagonist still won, even if not in the way he planned. This is a special aftertaste!

a wonderful and heartfelt family film. with very cool landscapes and backgrounds. Wahlberg and Sobanya are great, you worry about all this happening until the very end.. Especially knowing that it was actually a
must-see!

as an experienced ultramarathon trailrunner, I was ashamed to watch this video.
despite the fact that the story itself is well-known. it was a pity to see such a pathetic film adaptation of it :/

It's a good movie, I was even able to cry even though I didn't think it would be a difficult moment.,
I adore animals and I can't watch without tears when they suffer 🫣

It's a good movie, I was so worried about the dog, so I try not to watch movies where there are animals, because I really feel sorry for them . And they are constantly suffering , I'm glad that everything ended well here !

I put on a four-piece, a good movie, especially for family viewing. It's cool that the real story and the main character somehow became humanized by the end of the film, as he caused a lot of negativity at the beginning.
I put a four because, in my opinion, it's not the most directly touching film of its kind and I was somehow amazed by the mega high ratings on all sites. I don't think it's a masterpiece, but it's a decent good movie! The dog is super!

A great movie for family viewing!

It was interesting to watch: the race itself, and the interaction with the dog, as well as the humanity shown, the team spirit and the will to win

And the fact that the film is based on real events is shocking

In the beginning, I thought that, as usual, the dog would save all of them and lead to victory! But it turned out the opposite! Unpredictable! A good family movie!

Hollywood, of course, as usual, slicked down the original story a lot and omitted some points, which I think are important.
If we consider it as a separate work, it is a good, kind film about friendship and humanity. Wahlberg is a great actor.
If you look at it like a biopic, it's a pity that they didn't reveal the topic about the old owner and the sad end of the dog.
In general, I will put 4.5 for not very good and torn installation, and sometimes crooked camerawork - prof. deformation, I'm sorry)

It really leaves a lot of emotions behind. I am delighted with how humor and serious topics are intertwined here. The actors played just great, especially Arthur - his sincerity and naivety touch the depths of his soul. I liked the idea that everyone can become the king of their own destiny if they only believe in themselves. Very inspiring!

The photo shows a real team (too white, more than one European), with a real Arthur.
They were Swedes, and they fled to Ecuador. The Peak Performance team finished 12th.
But otherwise, the film repeats this story that happened in 2014 (and described not only in the ESPN documentary, but also in a separate book entirely dedicated to Arthur and his happy journey).
Even the dog's wounds were on his back.
And of course, in the end, the dog and his man went to live in a country with the most meat meatballs per dog's nose, and where a caring veterinarian was waiting for him. This is probably the happiest happy ending ever imagined.

The movie is wonderful. But it's not when I don't understand these athletes why I'm exhausting myself so much. The dog, of course, survives as best it can, but it's also not clear why it followed them.

@vbkb: the dog ran along the tourist routes, he considered it his job. Unlike other vagrants, he had a steady income and could not rummage through garbage cans. Latin America is not the most favorable part of the world to be a dog, but if you are hardy enough, you can make friends with foreign tourists, which Arthur did.

It's a great movie. It was interesting to see how people with different life circumstances were united in one team and went on the path to victory. Also, of course, the main character has found himself a loyal friend and pet who is ready to follow him to the very end.

It's a very cool movie, the scenes just touch your feelings and turn you inside out.
The plot is similar to the first "cars", where it wasn't the victory that was important, but what really defines you as a person. Amazing! I would have been blown away if they had been credited with the victory, as there were like 5 participants instead of 4.

Why hasn't anyone written this yet...
the film is SOBBING BEYOND WORDS.
With a happy ending, but if you have psychological problems, abandonment issues, do not look at the night, you will need to go to the store for handkerchiefs.

He's amazing! He knows how to endure and fight.
Just like you

Somehow I missed this movie on the way out, it's very inspiring and soulful.
It's a great story, but it's also based on real events.
It leaves a soulful aftertaste after watching, I love these movies.
The film is unexpectedly fascinating in racing episodes. Well, she cried over the dog. I can't watch a movie about animals, even with a good ending.
