OK football movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 2009)

A plane crash kills many of the football players and others from Marshall University in WE ARE MARSHALL. New coach Matthew Mc, attempts to create a new team that will keep the spirit of the old team alive. Based on a a true story, this sports movie presents some realistic football action. Matthew Fox from LOST is the secondary coach who feels he should have died in that crash. It pays to be a jock to watch this one, but it isn't 100 percent necessary. Rooting for the underdog is what the film is really about, and as such, it is a favorite American pastime. As far as the characters go, I found MM oddly disconnected from the story. Fox, however, gives a great performance.
