Hinnangud ja arvustused

It was a decent movie, but some big disappointments. The trailer almost exclusively showed clips from before the streak loss, not showing any of the actual struggles. It also implied that the death of a player would be a major aspect of the film, but it was barely a footnote. It's almost like this movie tried to include everything unique about every other football drama. In the end, the message of not being about an individual gets lost when you realize the film is exalting the coach

Sensational movie, it's the best football movie since Remember The Titans in my opinion. The only complaint I have is that there could have been a little more to the player's individual stories. I felt they didn't get far enough into detail in that area as much, but other than that superb film.

As a football enthusiast, I loved the storyline, particularly that's it's based on a true story. However, the overall quality seemed similar to that of a program that would air as a cheap Sunday premiere on the Lifetime channel. Unable to finish.
