The Nomads

Normally I have zero interest in spectator sports esp. football let alone rugby, but this I randomly came across this movie and started watching it based on its unusually relatively high ratings- and I gotta say it's a great movie for anyone to watch regardless of your interest in sports, period. I thought it was inspiring, compelling and exciting to watch from start to finish. I don't normally if ever give movie reviews (this is a first), but I was just so surprised how good it was because god knows I could care less about rugby or any other sport themed anything for that matter.

check it out - you won't be disappointed!

This story has been told many times in different situations. Like Broken Arrow before it, and others, a group of disenfranchised young people with challenging backgrounds take on an elite minority sport to build their confidence and give discipline.

The lead character disconnected from their family with other opportunites to escape. The experienced old time come mentor. The group of characterful unrelated young people who band together to support each other.

The story is cliched, the script standard, the acting is good across the board, the filmography is Saturday matinee.

However, why do we have to have special effects and gun fights when we can have something wholesome and feel good. RUGBY!

There are the usual lessons in this movie but they are told around a sport which prides itself on community, respect and inclusivity.

I enjoyed it for what it is and not for what I wanted it to be.

If you are looking for an inspirational movie, it is IT! Just watch it and see for yourself. An awesome movie, it is!

This movie is so inspirational snd worth the watch. You'll definitely fall in love with this movie like myself, even if you're not into rugby or any kind of sports for that matter. This is hands down one of my favorite sports movies, ever!

I like this version of Dangerous Minds. Caught it on tv and edited, only the black canle will play it but it's good
