'Without Limits' is an engrossing biopic on famous long distance athlete Steve Prefontaine. Billy Crudup is completely believable in the lead and captures Prefontaine's energy and his passionate desire to never give up. The role is an extremely physical one as Crudup shows us the gut-wrenching trauma Prefontaine went through. The film is straightforward and there are no subplots to detract from the storyline. Donald Sutherland is effective as his coach Bill Bowerman. The role may be clichéd but Sutherland is refreshing and has some great dialog as well. A solid entertainer and a must for sports buffs.Overall 7/10

This movie really gets a 9/10 I know some of you may not like that fact that Tom Cruise play a role in making this movie,but if you look past that little fact you will find a lot more. This movies is about long distance runner Steve Prefontaine one of my heros, so i was happy to see this movie. You will mostly feel happy and at the same time rather sad when watching this movie, but that should not stop anyone form seeing a movie about a amazing runner who stunned the world and anyone who ever watched him run, "a race is a work of art" Pre said taht just one great quote from the film. I don't want to give anything away this movie is great to watch with the family or by yourself it will make you want to do something new it promise you wont be upset with this one!!!!!!!!!!111

Billy Crudup's resemblance of Pre is astounding he looks very much like Pre. Also the movie has great spots of historical truth with the races he was in the way he raced and how he eventually helped with founding Nike with Bill. I saw this movie and it made me want to run, no i am going to college to compete and a Division 1 level, not as good as Pre but it got me going. The only thing that I wish was that I got to actually see Steve Prefontaine race, he would have been the best in the world.I wish that we actually knew what happened that night he died. Billy Crudup I'm a big fan of your movies, Without Limits, Almost Famous. Thanks

What a great fantastic film. I bought this film on the reviews I read on IMDB and I was not let down. I don't really know much on any sports as you wouldn't ever catch me on a track! But, watching a film about one mans faith in himself & his sport means I have a new found interest, and one I will follow over the following future sports events. I really now want to read about Prefontaine and find out more about his short but amazing life. Billy Crudup is just compelling to watch and would like to know more about the research he did on this role on such a bright light of a human. What I like about Donald Sutherland is you sooo easily can see how he lives & captures the moment that you believe him with no doubt - he is Bill! Everyone in production, etc, have put their heart & soul into this story, which makes the film enjoyable and one you don't wish to end but it does very tragically. It's just inspirational in every sense about a man who won't ever be forgotten. A must!
