Not a running film
I was highly disappointed by this "running documentary". I'm having a hard time even associating the word running with it. Running the Sahara was a very well done film so I had high hopes for this as well (even though Charlie is by far my least favorite runner from the Sahara film). I would not call this a running film, it's more of a political statement and the makers just happen to be filming a couple accomplished runners on an expedition across the United States to help tell the story.
If you are buying this film for the pure essence of running, this film is not for you!
What is even more ironic is that Charlie is currently in jail for mortgage fraud.
