Perfect 10

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2014)

This is the best football movie I've ever seen. Well I take that back, this is the best sports movie I've ever seen. Funny I never heard about it until recently. But when I realized that Billy Bob Thornton and Lucas Black would be sharing the screen again I definitely had to tune in. So there's this small town with nothing going on and football is their only salvation so they take it seriously. They down right obsess over it. All the adults live vicariously through the high school football players and the players do their best to deal with the immense pressure and stress placed on them to win championships.
Thornton did an amazing job but Lucas Black was the star of the show. His performance was powerful and impressive. He displayed so much intensity and conviction that I was with him every step of the way. As a matter of fact all of the main characters did an amazing job. I really liked that this was not a typical football movie about an underdog team that gets their stuff together just in time to win the championship. Just made the move all the more realistic. This movie really is a gem. The director did a fantastic job.
