Review title: Cold ambition
Product review: Dating from 1969, Downhill Racer holds up remarkably well both as a character study and a visually impressive journey into the world of Olympic skiing. Robert Redford, in the title role, plays an egotistical loner aiming for Olympic Gold. Coming from a background of rural poverty, he is fiercely determined to achieve fame and fortune. Often abrasive and laconic, he is openly contemptuous of people who lack his ambition, and resentful of those who have been born to wealth. Gene Hackman provides an interesting foil, recognizing his ability, but manipulating him for his own purposes. All this plays out against a background of lofty mountain scenery and high-speed ski runs. There is something very legitimate about the characterizations here: the implicit subtext is that success requires both relentless perseverance and an element of cold-bloodedness.
