Touchdown!

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2011)

I'm a huge American football fan, despite being Hungarian, and I really liked how this film takes a close and behind the scenes look at the life and drama of a football team. I loved the editing, the shaky cam, the music and the close-ups. But on the other hand, I have a few problems with this movie:
1.: The clichés: Upset owner, head coach on thin ice, boastful quarterback, who gets completely carried away by the success, angry girlfriends etc. 2.: The players are introduced to us as they were nothing but alcoholic wife-cheaters, who use drugs and f**k every woman they bump into. 3.: And last but not least, there is not a single word about punters and kickers. They aren't even mentioned. Everyone who loves this game knows that the role of these guys is unquestionable and essential for a team. However, I liked the intensity of the film, and the acting was quite good. I recommend it for everyone who loves football, even with considering the aforementioned shortcomings.
