Review of Gridiron Gang (2006) by Chads. — 24 Sep 2006
Where's the scene in which the coach warns his team about engaging in fistacuffs with the opposition? One little brouhaha and the Mustangs' season would've likely been cancelled. History says they made it through their schedule without incident, no doubt due to a coach's strong reprimand against retaliation(what's also missing is the trash talk you'd expect from young men playing former gang members).
A film about sports, even when its results are of secondary concern, should at least make an attempt to be realistic(no personal fouls?). The big game, which resembles the current "Survivor", doesn't acknowledge that the game might possibly be racially-charged.
"Gridiron Gang" doesn't quite work because its heart is too commercial. It should've been more like "Friday Night Lights" rather than "Remember the Titans".
