Critic Reviews

  • Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

    Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly.

  • , Chicago Reader

    The leads, Denzel Washington and particularly Will Patton, are so good they occasionally make you forget the material is shameless.

  • Trevor Johnston, Time Out

    The emphasis on the players' developing mutual trust, is absorbing to watch and cleanly directed.

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    The result is the sort of deeply massaged truth that isn't stranger than fiction -- it's worse than fiction.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    When the hard battle for integration is served up as a feel-good package, we've all been bamboozled.

  • Jameson W


    Extremely formulaic sports drama, but with a great leading performance from Denzel Washington, this film becomes something more special.

  • Eric A


    Very inspiring and touching film, this is Denzel doing what he does best.

  • Bethany M


    Really enjoyed this film!

  • Jim C


    This movie was just okay. It had a nice plot but in the end it was just another football movie. Acting was pretty good, and the moral was pretty sweet. Its probably me, but I expected more. In the end it was an average football flick for me.

  • erika b


    this was one of the best football films ever made.
