Gridiron Gang

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Are you ready for some football? It’s “Boys from the Hood” meets “The Longest Yard” meets “Coach Carter” at a juvenile correction facility in this real life inspired film. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is terrific as the man who believes he can change the system and the lives of some troubled kids. He uses football to change how these boys think of themselves. This movie uses every sentimental and inspirational gimmick to tug at your heart strings. As a feel good movie, it works for Alien. Expect some gang banging with your hard hitting football. Stay through the closing credits to meet the real coach and the delinquents delivering their real words that were incorporated into the movie. There is no “gang” in “team”. Go Mustangs!

Alien gives it 3 ½ “you got to have heart” stars out of 4.
