The Best Sports Movie Since Rocky...

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2004)

I just recently saw this movie and was blown away by the greatness of it. I have never seen a sports movie that made me think hard about it after I left the theater. The only other sports film I have seen that caught my mind after I watched it was Rocky(1). I think it might be the best football movie, ever. I mean, the only other, good, realistic football movie I've seen was Remember the Titans which I thought was worse.
This is also the only movie where I liked Billy Bob Thorton's acting. The Football genre is poisoned by movies like The Longest Yard, which they are making a remake of and will not help Adam Sandler get back on track with making "good" movies, and The Replacements filled with horrible cliques. I think it is about time that there is a good football movie made. If I had to rate this, I would definitely give it a 5/5.
