Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) once had a life filled with promise. In high school, he was a basketball phenom with a full ride to college, when suddenly, for reasons unknown, he walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Now years later, Jack is stuck in a meaningless job and drowning in the alcoholism that cost him his marriage and any hope for a better life. When he is asked to coach the basketball team at his alma mater, which has fallen far since his glory days, he reluctantly accepts, surprising no one more than himself. As the boy starts to come together as a team and win, Jack may have finally found a reason to confront the demons that have derailed him. But will it be enough to fill the void, heal the deep wounds of his past, and set him on the road to redemption?

Same flavor as the rest like Coach Carter, made lots of the dialogues and scenes too familiar and predictable. I didn't see this movie as a new movie but like a remake or something. The only thing I did enjoy was Affleck's performance, he really did good with his character and is the reason I'm giving this movie 2 Stars, it's nothing unique but white version of Coach Carter.

I didn't even watch the movie, I thought it was about one of those guys who made the halfcourt shot contest and won some free tickets to a basketball area that they were kicked out of for drinking too much :(

I loved this film We have seen this formula many times but it still works for me I love that they didnt focus so much on the games and more on the characters The music was fantastic Low key but perfect for the film
