Samuael L. Jackson, once again brings a performance to the screen, like no one else could.
Richmond,CA. 1999. In a mess of a city, a high school basketball team is on a continues losing streak with a poor coach. Soon, however these kids with bad attitudes, failing grades, no goals or aspirations, and no future, are turned around, by a man who believed in them more than they did themselves.
I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it and just had the pleasure of seeing it again, and cannot say enough words about how much I enjoyed the film. It was; well casted, well acted, well directed, well written and well located. It is one of the best films, based on actual events, you will ever see, and may even bring a tear to your eye, or a hope in your heart, about how wonderful life can be with just the right people or person in it. I recommend it to anyone, and although there is some crude language and sexual content, it is well overlooked, to still be the kind of film that should be played in schools.
