Director: Peter Segal
Stars: Adam Sandler, Burt Reynolds, and Chris Rock
Summary: A former NFL
star now prison inmate is given the challenge by the prison warden to form a
football team full of inmates to play in a nationally televised game against
prison guards.
My Review: Classic but a goodie. Really enjoyed this movie
back when I first watched it in 2005 and I still enjoy watching it now. Adam
Sandler plays the perfect role of someone who is able to bring a team of rough
inmates together through the bond of hatred they have for the guards. If you
love the story of underdog look no further than this movie. If the adversity
the inmates have faced throughout their lives isn’t enough already, the guards
try to break up the bond forming in the team through dirty acts. The best parts
of the movie are seeing how the team of inmates constantly respond to the guard’s
corruption and abuse of their power. Would recommend this film to any sports
lover especially those who enjoy American football.
My Rating: 8/10
