Información de esta película

Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) tenía un futuro muy prometedor por delante. En sus años de instituto era un fenómeno del baloncesto que podría optar a una beca universitaria completa, pero, por motivos desconocidos, dio la espalda al deporte y echó a perder su futuro. Años después, Jack está atrapado en un trabajo anodino y su alcoholismo le ha costado su matrimonio y cualquier esperanza de una vida mejor. Cuando le piden que entrene al equipo de baloncesto de su instituto, cuyos días de gloria han quedado muy atrás, acepta a regañadientes, sorprendiéndose incluso a sí mismo. A medida que el equipo empieza a cohesionarse y a ganar partidos, Jack cree haber encontrado una razón para enfrentarse a sus demonios, pero... ¿será suficiente para llenar su vacío, sanar las profundas heridas de su pasado y emprender el camino hacia la redención?

Valoraciones y reseñas

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.
