3/10
Basically, a TV-movie-level effort
30 May 2021
As many others have said: 1) Although the main character is named "Jesse Owens", the movie CLEARLY says right off the bat "no, not THAT Jesse Owens". So all the comments and reviews complaining that the "real" Jesse Owens wasn't in a tank unit in WWII were clearly NOT paying attention.

2) The movie is plagued by terrible art direction (everything looks new and clean, including the soldiers and their uniforms!), clumsy acting, uninspired writing, pedestrian direction, and merely adequate acting.

If I'd seen this as an episode of a weekly anthology drama on TV, I'd give it credit for effort. As an actual movie, not so much.

I stuck it out to the end, but I can't imagine bothering to watch it again.
