Review

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2017)

While I agree that Glory Road is exciting and inspiring, the fact remains that the movie takes liberties with the real facts.First of all was Jon Voights role as Adolph Rupp.Im a native Kentuckian and listened to and later saw interviews with the noted Kentucky coach . While the Wildcats did play for many years with a segregated team, There were African American players recruited in later years. Kentucky was one of the first SEC teams to break the color barrier. That said ,on to the film The film moves quickly . Great photography and sets are standouts. The final minutes of the NCAA Championship are breath taking. Good cast brings the story to a satisfactory conclusion. Rating of eight stars out of ten.
