Great sports movie

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2013)

If you like sports movies this will be another one to add to your list. Although some of the facts where changed to work with the film it is still very worth it. Watching the man that is Don Haskins and what he was able to accomplish in becoming a national treasure. This was not just a sports story it was about the changing of tolerance and what hard work, discipline with the right leadership can do. The acting performances from all the actors were superb and outstanding. Josh's portrayal as Haskins was remarkable. Don was a coach who did not believe in flashy plays even slam dunks weren't allowed he felt it was showboating and showed someones insecurity. He wanted to instill the fundamentals of basketball cause he knew thats what would make them winners. He also wanted the absolute best talent their was it did not matter their race. He wanted no part in making political statements. When he had the starting line-up during the championship game all being black it wasn't to say how things should change it was about winning and he felt they had the best chance. As history would put it this helped break down some of the color barriers in sports. What was impressive was the look and feel of the movie it looked as if it was real film footage. The attention to detail from the replica signs, to the concession cups even the clothes and plays in the final game made it even more exceptional. This was a great entertaining movie don't expect a biopic just watch as a enjoyable movie.
