I was totally captivated by this movie.

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2006)

"We are Marshall" was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The story was told with both passion and compassion and everyone in it did a good job playing their role. I was a young wife and mother when this happened and had forgotten about it until the movie came out. Kudos to the young man who played "Ruffin", the team captain, and the gentleman who played the College President. In my opinion they both absolutely nailed those characters. It would be nice to see them recognized for those vital supporting roles. The audience in the theater we went to rose to leave when the movie ended and the credits started to role, but stopped and stood to watch as the photos of the original characters alongside their actor counterparts were displayed. Everyone was mezmerized. One can only hope that more movies of this quality will be provided for the consuming public.
