best movie i've seen in awhile

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2004)

This film got it right. There are very few times a person can say the movie was as good as the book & this is one of them. I read that book two years ago & this is exactly how I pictured the events happening. The football players especially Winchell, Billingsly, & Chavez were portrayed fantastically. These actors were able to show fierce emotion without coming across as fake & that is hard to do. Anyone can relate to this movie somehow if there's ever anything good or bad that has happened in your life.
This movie was one of the best I've seen in awhile. It's wonderful to see a great sports movie to come out of a great sport book. For once, I'm glad to see some imperfect characters that seem a little more real than a lot of things on screen.
