Good Drama

Glory Road (2006)
*** (out of 4)
Don Haskins (Josh Lucas) leads Texas Western to the NCAA Championship game where he starts five black players against Adolph Rupp and the University of Kentucky. Don't go into this thing expecting a history lesson and you should leave having a pretty good time. Lucas is very good in the role of Haskins, which also had him gaining over thirty pounds. The supporting cast of kids do nice work and it's rather interesting seeing John Voight under all that make up to the play the legendary Rupp. The "black vs. white" story takes a lot of liberties but it remains fun throughout.
