Review of Glory Road (2006) by Justin M — 02 Jun 2009
A paint-by-numbers sports flick that still manages to score big from outside the paint. Sizzling with style, it overflows with great music. Lucas has a fire in his eyes behind the bench, pacing with a soldier's swagger across the court from a completely unrecognizable Jon Voight in the final game. It's a good performance ("Are you kiddin' me?!?"), but basketball's the star here -- the people are just along for the ride. Still, while the team on-screen may be changing the game, there's nothing ground-breaking at play within the movie itself. Doesn't mean it isn't fun while it lasts though.
I just have to ask... Between this and 'Friday Night Lights', is there any sport Derek Luke *can't* play?
