TimHauck 2,619 Posted January 9 She stars in a new movie about Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won the NCAA wrestling championship while wrestling for Arizona State ( @jerryskids may be familiar). Comes out 1/16 on Prime Video. Might be the wrestling movie with the biggest name actors, or at least equal to Foxcatcher which I was not crazy about. In addition to JLo, also has Don Cheadle, Michael Pena, and Bobby Canavale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is an article about him and the movie in the latest ASU Thrive (alumni magazine,) although I haven't had a chance to read it yet: https://news.asu.edu/20241113-sun-devil-community-unstoppable-anthony-robles-amazon-movie-mothers-love Also, the film premier was postponed (supposed to be last night) due to the LA wildfires. https://www.azfamily.com/video/2025/01/09/asu-wrestler-anthony-robles-film-premier-canceled-due-la-wildfires/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It actually had a limited release in theaters in December, and then last night it was in 175 theaters for free as part of “Amazon screenings,” but yeah makes sense that some of the LA ones would have been cancelled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did end up seeing it last night and I would say yes, but I have a lower opinion of Vision Quest than many in the wrestling community. Win/Win (stars Paul Giamatti) by far the best wrestling move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
