Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This film wraps up the big wrestling match that Terry Davis's novel left unresolved. It also makes Carla (Linda Fiorentino, in her screen debut) less of a bad girl. What it does capture is the book's flowing feeling of power and the possibility of youth. Probably best known for presenting a just-emerging Madonna singing 'Crazy for You,' Vision Quest also uses Matthew Modine nicely. He doesn't typify the usual coming-of-age youth, but his character, Louden Swain, isn't the typical youth, period. Swain needs to win the Washington State wrestling championship, and he's up against a guy who carries logs up stadium steps. He's also involved with an older woman, Carla, and learning that love and all that stuff is much harder than pinning an opponent. Ah, youth. --Keith Simanton

- Loved it
I loved this movie. I may be prejudice because I am from Spokane where it was filmed. The story is great for a boy determined to prove to himself that he can do what he sets his mind to at all cost. The school sport programs are like that in Spokane to build self confidenance and to challenge their students.

- Best wrestling movie ever (but we all know Chute would have won)
This is easily the best wrestling movie ever made, and it will probably never be topped. Louden Swain (Matthew Modine in a role he'll never top) is a high school senior on the wrestling team. By all accounts his life is relatively normal for a rural community. School, work, wrestling practice, friends, and helping around the house are daily occurrences. It is only when he decides to take on the biggest challenge of his young life - with a little inspiration from his best friend masquerading as an Indian, and a nubile Linda Fiorentino as Carla - that he truly finds out about his inner strength.

Shortly before Louden's senior year of high school, he decides that he is going to change weight classes and take on the best wrestler in state, Chute. Now, Chute is basically one or two steps to the left on the evolutionary chart, a hulking, neckless, monosyllabic, Neanderthal wrestling machine who likes ... Read More

- Excellent movie
Great movie. Wish there were more movies out there about wrestling. It is a very dedicated sport. It takes a lot of self sacrafice to maintain where you want to be.
