Great Flick !!

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2006)

This movie follows the real event very closely as it really happened. A saddened day for Huntington, WV and for the entire Ohio Valley (area along the Ohio river), it took many years for all of them to recuperate and this movie depicts the story so true.
The drama, the plot, and the thrilled suspense, will keep you on tuned in to the main characters who desire a result but are challenged to find themselves in a darken tunnel.
Matthew McConaughey plays an excellent role of depicting a true to life coach whose mission was survival and along the way manages to give the viewer a laugh just when it's needed.
If you're from the Ohio valley and remember this event, you will leave the theater with Marshall University on your mind and if you are from Huntington area you will know that your team has received it's recognition so needed but if none of these then you will definitely enjoy the drama, the personal stories lived out on the big screen, and the witness of the desire of the human spirit to rise above it all, even when beaten.
