Race

Race is a solid Jesse Owens biopic that focuses on the few years leading up to his gold medal victory leading up to the 1936 Olympics in Berlin prior to World War 2.  It stars Stephan James, Jason Sudekis, and Jeremy Irons.  The performances are really good.  Sudekis is really good at drama, too.  Like many other biopics, however, the story of the man gets a bit lost in all the other stories on it's importance and implications to the countries at the time.  I can understand that to a degree, but I also think it gets lost on an audience as a whole even in the title, as the obvious meaning of holding an important race is overshadowing the issue of race in the world.
