Just another boring, slow football movie. Nothing really that will 'entertain' you. People should stop making crappy films about being black in 60's unless its a documentary. Not really entertaining at all. Yes he was black, he went through some race... Full review

Gary Fleder 's film is far from perfect - it goes on about half an hour too long and has a miscast lead - but the true story is powerful and the always-great Dennis Quaid adds gravity to the ensemble. ...
