GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

MartinHafer I enjoyed this sports documentary from ESPN. However, I know some will not because it leaves TONS of things unanswered--and clarity is certainly NOT something you'll find here."Run Ricky Run" is a film about Ricky Williams--a very strange pro football player. Now I am NOT trying to be insulting saying he is strange--this is just a fact. He clearly does NOT walk to the same drummer that others do. He failed several NFL drug tests and basically said he was fine walking away from a multi-million dollar contract so he could smoke pot! But the story gets much stranger--and I'll let you learn more when you see this show yourself. Just be prepared--while SOME of his behaviors make some sense, some just can't easily be explained. Fortunately, around the time this film was made, Williams managed to clean his life up quite a bit and had a few good NFL years in him. Let's wish him well and hope he manages to keep his life together. Well worth seeing.

Michael_Elliott 30 for 30: Run Ricky Run (2010) *** (out of 4)This entry in ESPN's 30 for 30 series was apparently five years in the making as when Ricky Williams decided to retire, he asked friend and director Pamphilon to tell his story. Anyone who knows about Williams knows how controversial everything about him as been. Everything from his New Orleans draft pick to his early retirement and various run-ins with the NFL and their drug policy. The majority of this film has footage of Ricky after his original retirement as we see him struggle to try to come to terms with various things. Those close to Ricky are interviewed and it's questioned if he has some sort of mental disorder or if he really is a normal person just wanting to learn things. The film also likes to show various shows with writers, experts and various others debating what exactly is wrong with Williams. Many see him as just some sort of weird freak while others believe he has a lot of mental problems. The documentary does a good job at being neutral as it doesn't try to push the viewer into believing anything. Instead, it gives us video evidence and lets us make up our own mind. For the most part Williams is an interesting subject but the film does go a bit too far in asking questions but not getting anything out of them. We see Williams going through these various stages of his life but I must admit it would have been interesting to see what he thinks today about all this stuff, although various people in the film says his mind changes from day to day.
