Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

jcjs333 Takes 30 minutes to even get going...the show starts with countless 'f' words in a bar which , nowadays , is a way to get 'that type of audience' (those who don't know how to use the English language and bore me)...the acting is good but i can tell it's going to be trite saved only by acting.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Stronger" (2017) has a great performances, all around. It has a solid script, based on a true events story and solid directing. For running time 1 h 50 min this movie barely has dragged and was involving. While the story here itself is only loosely based on real life, its kinda predictable here and there and you can see some events (in a second part of the movie) coming from mile ahead, yet all was done very solidly.Overall, "Stronger" is an inspiring and simply a good movie all around. Not to be missed one.

Yannick Based on a true story, so it's hard to obtain a scenario with originality. I guess there are better movies to understand how to build a new life after being newly and severely handicapped.The move is just ok. But the same as those where patriotism is prominent and the U.S. need a hero.

TxMike My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. It is a well made movie and the lead actors all do fine jobs. It isn't an entertaining movie as such, the tragedy of a marathon bystander getting his legs blown off followed by the long road back to some sense of normalcy.The family members featured here are vulgar types, often I wanted to reach in and punch the mom or the dad, I suppose it is authentic, I've never been around Boston blue collar people. They are hard to watch most of the time.Jake Gyllenhaal is his usual good self as the victim, Jeff Bauman, a worker at Costco who only goes to see the finish of the 2013 Boston Marathon because his on-off girlfriend is running and he wanted to show her he had some responsibility. She is played also very well by Tatiana Maslany as Erin Hurley. Perhaps the best is British actress Miranda Richardson as the mother, Patty Bauman, who is so irritating all the way through. She is the one I most wanted to punch.Anyway it is a worthwhile movie if a viewer wants a glimpse into what kind of background this injured person had and how he was able to overcome this tragedy and get on with life.
