After an 8-month hiatus from the movies, I went to see Hard Miles and loved it! Based on a true story, it didn't need the cookie-cutter model you see in almost everything else released by Hollywood nowadays. Hard Miles was able to shine with an original storyline, great acting, and great cinematography that brought to life the transition of correctional school students from cast-offs to a cohesive team of cyclists during their journey from Colorado to the Grand Canyon. Instead of telling someone else's story, it felt as though you were watching the actors' own play out. Although Matthew Modine is always a pleasure to watch on big or small screen, it was just as wonderful to see newer talents showcasing their acting skills, like Zachary Robbins' portrayal of class clown Rice. I can see why Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie such a high rating!
