Review of We Are Marshall (2006) by Dan M — 10 Mar 2011
Based on a true story, but still very formulaic. The film could have benefited from being grittier and more realistic. It manages to capture the strong and tragic emotions, but when it tries to be inspirational, it pulls out a series of tacky speeches and slow motion back slaps.
The story has a great beginning, setting up a town shattering tragedy. The build up is ominous, but still leaves room for surprise. The movie doesn't make you want to cheer out loud, but it is a descent movie (at least if you're in to sports flicks or Matthew McConaughey).
Nothing as special as I thought it'd be though.
