Abraham S Aug 25, 2018 A feel-good story of an athlete overcoming adversity to succeed when it appeared that it might be impossible. Based on a true story, but probably embellished for the purpose of theatrics which, in this case, works to provide the emotional kick wanted by the book on which the story is based. See more
George S Jan 16, 2018 Another faith based sports film that I wanted to be better than it was. I think a combination of better actors and writing would have made a difference. See more
