Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
George Ohan This is the type of project that any filmmaker should be proud to work on. Great job to the crew for helping to bring light to such an important issue. Peter Berg and Andy Lauer make a dynamic team on this project by making the journey personal to the audience. If you liked "Friday Night Lights" you're going to love this project that shows the dark part of high school football. This is an emotional ride that will make you laugh and cry. You will see intelligent interviews by Al Michaels, Peter Berg, Jerry Jones, and others. Parents that have children playing high school football will be taken on an emotional ride. Please take a moment to check out this documentary. Thank you in advance for your time.
