A truly awesome movie, probably the best sports movie i've ever seen. It starts a little vague and slowly draws you in, but before you know it you feel all the pressure these kids are under and its an amazing sense of claustraphobia brilliantly executed by the director. By the end of the film your emotions are fully tied in with the players. Awesome movie fully recommended!

A supremely affecting, endlessly moving tribute to the lives and obsessions throughout America's backwaters, Berg never once aims for limp and tired coming of age cliches. Instead we see a bunch of kids struggling to make something of themselves, their town and their brief chance at glory. Viewed through a cold, hand-held eye, the raw fear, emotion and infrequent joy of a Texan town's weekly escape is both immediate and utterly compelling. Extremely powerful stuff.

A great film. Great performances especially from Thornton, Black and McGraw (who knew he could go that dark). Well written and directed. A good movie about football for people who don't like football.

When I first heard of the movie, I thought it was going to be like the other sports film wandering around. But, God, this IS a film. An inspiring, stunning take on sports films. One of the best films of the decade, to me at least.
