You will not be disappointed with this movie.

This film contains a message that is able to hold a leadership character build solid synergy. "Ain't no mountain high enough," became the theme song for this movie. I admired the way the screenplay, by Gregory Allen Howard, doesn't make Boone noble and Yoast a racist, but shows them both as ambitious and skilled professionals. The actor in this movie is act so extraordinary. They lead us in the real atmosphere. All of this is said to be based on life, and no doubt largely is, but life was perhaps harder and more wounding than the film. It is more about football than race relations, and it wants us to leave the theater feeling not angry or motivated, but good. There are true and touching moments in the film, on top of its undeniable entertainment value. If I must give rating to this film, I will give 4.5 from 5 to this film.
