Review of Touchback (2011) by Greg N — 16 Feb 2013
Yet another "Wonderful Life" formula flick? Well, this one at least justifies the use of the classic storyline, moreso than James Belushi's "Mr. Destiny", and despite a polished effort by Nicholas Cage, more effectively than "The Family Man".
Many of the sentiments hit home in the seemingly unfortuitous life of Scott Murphy, particularly in the small town of Coldwater, Ohio, where Kurt Russel is ideally cast as his high school football coach, and who perhaps is as much at home in this small town, as he is portraying the role, in this touching family oriented sleeper.
