Carter High

Gave this a 3, maybe a TV movie. Carter has had a couple WAY better movies. This one is TERRIBLE. B acting overall, story a mess, not sure what these other reviewers watched, but don't waste your time on this one. There is a reason why this movie didn't even make 150k, its just a TV movie at best. We have seen this concept plenty of times in better movies. Or just watch the TV series Friday Night Lights. That covers all of this and MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Or the Program, or Facing the Giants or When the Game stands Tall. I know this touches on a very specific event but its a common theme and done so commonly that there is nothing special about this movie at all.

Gee IDK. Hard to follow the story as there is no main character. We jump in and out of people's lives for no reason. At the halfway point, the movie seems over, but we still have to get to the reason for the sentencing from the opening scene. Uhhhh... quite a mess of a film. This should be remade, the original story it's based on is a good one.

Lol, you have to watch the movie in order to understand. I believe this movie should be watched by EVERY STUDENT ATHLETE in high school. A true story that keeps it REAL! Sad but true.

May have been an interesting story in real life, but you wouldn't be able to tell from watching the movie. How did this ever become a movie? The story was impossible to follow. There was absolutely no backstory to any of the characters and no development of the plot. I've never seen a movie this bad.

This is a movie that everyone should see. Especially if you have preteen and teenage children. It is a true example of how one wrong decision can ultimately have a very lasting effect on your future.

Bravo to Arthur for telling the story of one of the greatest football teams in high school football and the eventual downfall of potentially great athletes who could have had Hall of Fame careers.

This picture is true and accurate. No sugar coating the true message Charles Dutton does a great job as Coach Freddie James. His words are hauntingly inspiring David Banner as Royce West is both convincing and powerful. Carter High is a hard lesson to learn, yet does a good job of adding in some elements of humor.
