Review

though it trips up a couple times in its execution, it’s still a powerful film. some of the score was a bit dated and the game sequences were not very well directed, but it those detractors didn’t get in the way of the story. and that’s what this movie was really about – the story. david versus goliath, overcoming one’s demons, etc. even though it revolves around basketball, the viewer learns more about living in a small town in the 1950s than they do about basketball. and that’s a good thing because it makes the story stronger. one of the better sports movies of all-time.
