Friday Night Lights is a movie about a High School football team located in Permian, Texas. In Texas football is not just a sport, it is life. From the first day of pre-season everyone knows that anything short of bringing back the state championship will be viewed as a failure. The acting in this movie is good and brings a lot of emotion to the story. It is heartbreaking to see how the players lives are affected by the pressures put on them every day because they play for Permian. This could be on of the best sports stories ever told; I highly suggest checking it out. It will suit everyone's fancy. The soundtrack is great, with the music fitting every moment of the film. The football scenes are also fantastic. I gave the film eight stars.
