Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Steve Morrissey

The gruelling sporting ordeal known as adventure racing forms the backdrop to the heart-warming true story of a racer and the bond he formed with a stray dog during a race. Mark Wahlberg stars as Michael, leader of a charismatic underdog quartet that runs, climbs, bikes and kayaks across the Dominican Republic, that is eventually joined by an actual underdog, Arthur. There are whoops and high fives, lush scenery and angry-looking blisters, plus one particular moment on a zipwire that is not for those afraid of heights. The ace up this drama's sleeve, though, is Ukai, the scrappy, hairy crossbreed playing Arthur. Michael apart, the rest of the characters are thinly drawn, the script has a tendency to clank and the race itself becomes increasingly irrelevant. But in the end none of that really matters - it's all about Arthur.
