Jackson carried this movie

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2005)

I thought that the movie was pretty good. Mainly because I love Samuel L. Jacson. One reason that I think that this movie will do well is the fact that this is one of the first serious basketball movies made (Lord knows how many football movies there have been over the years). The one thing that I liked about it being based on a true story is that it didn't end like your normal fairy tale sports story...they lost. However I think parts of it were slow and that Jacson's role carried it through some parts, not all, were boring. His performance, however, was powerful and he tried to give a powerful message to the ghetto public schools of this country.
