More Than Just A Sports Film

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2009)

Based on the incredible true story of high school football team the Titans this film mainly works because of the wonderful cast, and of course Jerry Bruckheimers key production values. The film is about football but that is not the real reason for the story what the writer mainly focuses on is the racial strife that the team first endures. The movie flows very well and is extremely entertaining and for only being a two plus hour movie I think the writer did well in crafting the script and bringing out the important themes of the film. I now would like to say a few things about the cast first off none of the guys look like they would be in high school, that being said they can all act. I don't think that one performance is better than another everything just kind of flows together and with out all the members of the cast it would be a completely different film and might not be as good. Anyway I can't really say much more about the film without spoiling so I will just let you watch it and come to your own conclusions.
