In any case, "Coach Carter" is 136 minutes long and could have been edited by a good half an hour.
If there is any single aspect of the film I didn't care for, though, it's the length.

The cinematography was great, the quality of both picture and sound were ideal.....Many times it is because the script is awkward....The boys on the team were fine actors....Samuel L. Jackson is still an amazing actor and he played his role with the utmost amazing ability..... ... Full Review
