i watched the this the other night on a local station because i do not feel like watching tripe like american idol. peter strauss gives a great performance as a convict named rain murphy who keeps to himself. he admits to his crime and makes no bones that he feels no shame for it. his cell is bare of any comforts that other inmates have like books and pictures. the only time he feels in another zone is in running. he does it often and can run a mile in under four minutes. when a college coach hears about this and he wants to prime him for a shot at the olympics. at first and rain wants no part of this and but when his best friend is killed and he shows interest. this is a good movie and period. strauss is very good (what did you expect and anything less. ) and michael mann shows hints of greatness that would come full bloom years later. this movie had that bit of realism (probably because it was filmed among convicts). it almost feels like this was a true story. the additional casting is good. there is a lot of notable names like brian dennehy and roger e. mosley and and richard moll as well. my heart sank when some pompous board of directors do not let him run because he do not feel bad for his crime. his final act made me stand up and cheer. when they took his dreams away and he took them back hard. this was back when tv movies were actually good. the jericho mile is a gem of a film. espn classic and please show this film.
