Certainly not a typical one!

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2015)

The usual sports movie focuses either on the players, the coach, or both. This one doesn't. It focuses on the manager, and it fairly succeeds in being different.
Kevin Costner did a nice job acting in this one, and I really can imagine him in a job like this. He takes the role of Sonny Weaver Jr., general manager of Cleveland Browns, who had finished last season with a really poor record, and the fans are getting tired of it. Though the owner and the coach and pretty much everybody have an idea of what he should do, Costner's fictional character follows his vision through the movie as he ends up being a hero. Nothing less.
This movie is entertaining, unusual, the acting is fair, the football world is well described, and the best of all, it is indeed inspirational.
