Unlike a lot of sports movies, it doesn't end with a championship or a great upset over a powerhouse. The real victory on the Marshall campus was in fielding a team that honored and respected the legacy of the 1970 team.

This was undeniably a horrific event for the victims' families friends, colleagues as well as for the entire community. But the movie seems to almost exploit this tragedy so it can make audiences weep, and ultimately, cheer.
I really enjoyed the book and when I heard it was on DVD I just had to see it! Very glad I did. Does justice to the book too! If you have read the book you will like this, even if you haven't read the book you probably will like this! there are adult scenes though so not for the kids to see!
The stylistic influence of Lord of the Rings permeates the film and effectively sells the fairy tale as a drama-driven showdown between the Evil Queen's unquenchable vanity and Snow White's uncrushable sense of honour.
You could literally cast Harold Pinter's The Homecoming AND The Caretaker with these eight men and run them side by side on the West End to packed houses for years.
Not the usual sticky sweet Snow White we all grew up with, this movie brings us to a land where rose gardens are not part of the bargain. I like the dance with the dark side, maybe not for the younger crowd, more for the older folks.
Stands head and shoulders above the late 90s flurry of British gangster movies. Stylish and confident and built upon a fearsome performance from Ben Kinglsey.
The talented Glazer keeps things crisp, clean and purposeful. The only flab on this film is around the waist of its sybaritic hero, a working-class crook who has finally gotten a taste of the good life, and doesn't want to lose it.
This product would be fine for those who have a Blu-Ray player, but there is only one DVD in the entire 15 pack bunch. Only the fourth movie has a DVD copy. We are not sure how to use the digital copies on the computer, and don't care to find out at this time. Pretty much a waste of time and space, and very costly for four Blu-Ray movies. We really wanted a set of all four movies on DVD. Luckily, this was easily returned to our local Walmart store.
I loved the first three movies but this one was so awful. It wasn't necessary to make the 4th as it sure as heck didn't make any sense. Stick with the first three and skip this one. It will leave a bad taste in your mouth!
