It is somewhat superficial in approaching the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Film Stage

We've gotten plenty of sports films over the years, but precious few that wade into the deep, dark machinery that fuel the underdog stories and inspirational tales we love to love.

Rated: B

Provocative sports movie on amateur athletics; cursing.

Rated: 4/5

The Daily Dot

Condensing the story takes the air out of the ball and renders the movie flat. What's left feels like a jumble of story threads that don't cohere.

Rated: 2/5

Viene toccato, almeno per piccole parti, uno dei più grossi problemi presenti ad oggi nello sport professionistico statunitense; purtroppo però viene data la priorità alla storia familiare del protagonista, molto meno interessante e per nulla originale. A maggior ragione questo diventa un problema viste le performance attoriali non esattamente impeccabili. Ottime le sequenze all'interno del campo da gioco. Peccato, si poteva osare maggiormente.

I didn't like this movie at all. Ended as if it was rushed, and didn't have a very good plot. Was very stereotypical and not engaging at all. I would not recommend.
