exciting sports drama

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 1999)

Very good movie about the price one has to pay for a grand achievement. The basketball coach took a group of goof-offs and losers, and showed them that there is no free ride; if you want something, you have to sweat and work for it. The ending of this film could have been corny and anti-climactic, however, it came off as a real nail biter. I honestly didn't know who was going to come out on top all the way to the final gun. A real heart stopper, and an entertaining story with a good lesson. 5 stars.
