As a former long distance runner, I was fascinated by this documentary about the Badwater race in Death Valley. It's billed as the most grueling race in the world. That's true since the temperature there gets up to 120 degrees. I admired what these runners were trying to do and was fascinated by the psychological aspects. Most of the runners of course never got to finish the race but those that did should be commended for their achievement. An excellent film.

An amazing film
18 November 2000
This film is truly a revelation. It's like watching the same film but 4 different camera angles. Most people don't realize all the different camera angles that are used to shoot a film and how difficult it is to choose which one to show. This is a film buff's dream. The performances are so real because there are no cuts. The actors' performances cannot be manipulated. The actors cannt redo the take or cover up any weaknesses. Salma Hayek was amazing. She threw herself into this film with everything she's got. This was the best performance she's ever given. It's a great film to watch and a look at what films in the future might be like.
