Enjoyable, but I wouldn't want to take this road again.

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2006)

It was not the best sports movie around, I'd say Miracle(2004) was way better then this. Maybe it's me, but I didn't feel that coach Don Haskins really had his plan for the game to well thought out, the way coach Herb Brooks from Miracle did. At times this movie is not to easy to sit through, This story was in 1966, and racism was high, and thank goodness I was not born in that time. It may not be the sports movie around, but it was not the worst. The Basketball scenes were good, and exciting. Josh Lucas gave quite a good performance has Don Haskins, but he soon gets overshadowed by Derek Luke(Friday Night Lights) as Bobby Joe Hill, the team leader, his performance was very Oscar worthy.
