Acerca deste filme

Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) tinha uma vida cheia de promessas. No ensino médio, ele foi um fenômeno do basquete com uma vaga garantida na faculdade quando, por motivos desconhecidos, abandonou um dos jogos desistindo do seu futuro. Anos depois, Jack está preso em um trabalho irrelevante e se afogando no alcoolismo, que acabou com seu casamento e qualquer chance de uma vida melhor. Quando ele é chamado para ser o técnico do time de basquete do seu antigo colégio, que decaiu muito desde os seus dias de glória, acaba aceitando relutantemente, surpreendendo a si mesmo. Quando os garotos começam a se unir como um time e vencer, Jack pensa finalmente ter encontrado uma razão para enfrentar os problemas que o fizeram perder o rumo. Mas será o bastante para preencher esse vazio, curar as profundas feridas de seu passado e colocá-lo no caminho para a redenção?

Classificações e críticas

The people who don't get this movie are people who didn't live with alcoholics. I had the opportunity to preview the film before the edits, and empathized with all of the characters. If you've never lived these situations, then you're not going to like the movie let alone understand the pain and anguish alcoholism creates (Mother was an alcoholic, and married one.). Well made film, and they could not have picked a better actor for the lead. View the movie as a story of healing..

Really enjoyed this film and Ben Afflecks performance was strong.. .Its a redemptiom film but takes a turn at the end. Everyone has struggles and things that haunt them, its how we face those struggles head on and grow. Well worth the $5.99 rental 5 stars.

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.
