Since its founding in 1899, Manassas High School in North Memphis has never had a football team win a playoff game. In 2004, former high-school coach Bill Courtney offers to help turn the Manassas Tigers around. Nurturing his players' physical and emotional strengths, Courtney's efforts pay off in 2009, when the Tigers, led by their star player O.C., seem to have a chance to break their school's 110-year losing streak and finally win a playoff game.

Critics Consensus

It covers familiar sports documentary territory, but Undefeated proves there are still powerful stories to be told on the high school gridiron.

All eyes are on the ball, while the future screams from the sidelines.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Undefeated works the whole macho-sentimental template so vigorously and well it's practically a reflexive response to cry foul, but you'd have to find heroic reserves of cynicism not to care at all about the precarious fortunes of these unformed bruisers.

Rated: 4/5

A watchable movie, no question. But perhaps best filed under guilty pleasures.

There can be power and comfort in cliché, and let's get this one out of the way: it's not about winning or losing, but how you play the game.

This movie turned out to be a very good movie. It has become a work that has been greatly enjoyed by the audience. I think that the work was born because of the director's poor thinking. It turned out to be a movie that I liked very much. I would like to thank the director and actors.

In my opinion, I felt that the movie was very good, behind all this, the filmmaker was able to come up with the right festive details to congratulate the members of the behind-the-scenes team.
