Greatest Football movie ever!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2004)

This movie joins the ranks of "Rudy" and "Hoosiers" as an instant classic. The greatest football movie ever made with amazing performances by Billy Bob Thornton, Tim McGraw, and Lucas Black as the quarterback Mike Winchell. this film takes you deep into the psyche of the town and the players of Odessa, Texas where football is king and players are treated like gods.
Unlike most sports movies which are rife with clichés and generic characters, "Friday Night Lights" is a gripping, realistic portrayal of high school football and its effects on people.Tim McGraw is great as a alcoholic father who won a state championship in high school and is trying to relive it through his son Don.
The football action is the most intense and realistic ever scene on film. the movie takes you into the game and you will not want to leave. you will be gripping your seat until the last second ticks off the clock.
The film is faithful to the national bestselling book of the same name by Buzz Bissinger which is a crucial reason why this movie is as good as it is.
"Friday Night Lights" is an outstanding look at the world of high school football where seventeen year old kids become legends and heroes under those "Friday Night Lights."
