I'm not really a big sports fan, but I do enjoy a good sports movie. Ivan Reitman directed this which is pretty interesting since a lot of his movies are comedies and only a few of them were pretty good such as the Ghostbuster films. Anyways the cast here looks quite good. It's nice to see Tom Welling still acting although he isn't a big focus in this or in 2013's Parkland. He is a pretty decent actor and proves he still has some pretty good skills. Football has to be my least favorite sport I've seen. I never really admired it. Now this movie brings drama to probably the least interesting aspect of the game. It's odd to see a sport movie that isn't really about the sport, but rather it's about the people behind the sport.
Pros:
-A different look at something I find least interesting
-Great actors
-Some pretty good drama
-Intelligently written for a sports drama
Cons:
-Ugh football
-A little cliche
All in all it was a decent one time watch. It isn't something I would watch again though. If you like football though this might be your kind of movie.
