Bracingly honest and ceaselessly compelling documentary.
It's one of the most powerful films of the year.
One of the most remarkable things about Murderball, which is easily among the year's best movies, is how little of its time is filled with the playing of the game.
It's original, outrageous and murderous fun.
A thoughtful and provocative look at a previously little-seen world.
Reportedly, after seeing the film, rapper Eminen is anxious to play a wheelchair athlete in a coming movie.
As a sports documentary, Murderball is tame and uninvolving. It does however, offer a hard-edged and unsentimental portrait of strong-willed people.
