Reeves can act! Who knew?

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2001)

Not wishing to be out acted by a superb supporting cast, Keanu Reeves puts in his best performance to date. He rants, he raves, and he shows some range for a change. But the kids still steal the show. In bringing the team together, the coach gets himself together.
The film gives a peek into the grim realities of both ghetto life and gambling addiction, and as such there is a lot of profanity and moments of violence, desperation and senseless loss. But the morals of the story are plain. This is a heavy PG-13
