Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times Black is interested in big themes -- including guilt and redemption -- and is helped by a strong cast capable of carrying the dramatic sequences. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 27, 2005 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Scott Foundas L.A. Weekly First-time writer-director Paul Black is woozy with affection for the searching, wounded-soul-of-America cinema of the late 1960s and early '70s, but, alas, casting Karen Black in a supporting role as Ricky's mom does not a Five Easy Pieces make. Oct 27, 2005 Full Review Merle Bertrand Film Threat A decent, if flawed look at life in the football spotlight; a film that makes one wonder if it might not be time to turn down the glare a little bit. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2004 Full Review Gabriel Shanks Mixed Reviews The rites of passage into adulthood have rarely been so textured. Rated: B Apr 22, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A decent, if flawed look at life in the football spotlight; a film that makes one wonder if it might not be time to turn down the glare a little bit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Ryan Kwanten gives a star making performance in this interesting yet uneven look at the fascination with the football worship in Texas and how it can turn from love to hate by those closest to it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought this was going to be a "boy" movie about football, but it surprised me. Ryan Kwanten performed really well. And loved that Sheldon from CSI was in it. He so hot! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Entertaining, wake up call. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member good movie. kept me guessing!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Who would have thought Vinny from Home and Away would turn up as a Texan High School Football player, great little film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
