The cast includes Joel Edgerton as coach Al Ulbrickson Sr. and Callum Turner as rower Joe Rantz. From Variety’s review: “Callum Turner exudes star power” in an “old-fashioned movie daydream…Turner, who is British, has the dark-eyed, purse-lipped, lock-jawed scowl of Springsteen the working-class prince.”
