    I HAD to create an IMDb account to review.

    What an amazing movie, I'm by no means a fan of football... But that may have been changed tonight watching this story. It's one that makes you engrossed in it right away and one that gives you a feeling of strength. It shows that no matter how hard it gets you keep pushing like he did. What an awesome movie! Definitely pleas watch it.

    I had never heard of Brandon

    This movie popped up on Netflix at first glance I thought it was going to be another low rated sappy sports film, but I thought I would give it a look. First off, I don't know how anyone would give the film a rating of Less than 10. Yes, agreed, it was a bit low budget, but the message the film portrays is a bit different than some of the sappy made for TV type sports films. I had never heard about Brian Bulsworth until seeing this film, and am glad I watched it. So what if it has a spiritual twist, it seems it was true, so why wouldn't that be shown in the film. Goes to show everyone that that flashy kid that gets everything handed to them can learn a thing or two from Brandon. Highly recommended.

    Awesome Film

    I grew up in Harrison and I was so touched by this film. Growing up with the real Marty, I saw a soft spoken and gentle soul. I never knew the hardships of his family dynamics. I cried and laughed through the whole film and was moved that this family opened up to be transparent for the world to see. When leaving the theater, most were crying and saying that they loved it. From a retired high school counselor's view, this is a must see for our youth. The struggles they deal with need to be seen as motivation and not stumbling blocks. This is an encouraging message to all! Brandon not only worked hard academically and athletically, he stood firm in his values and morals. I hope this message resonates loud to the audience to not be afraid of going against what is popular for the greater good.

      The Indianapolis Colts wore his initials, BB, on their helmets for the 1999 season.
    • Goofs
      The comment about the carving is true, but the imagery of the piece is a little deeper. The more the "farmer" talked to Marty about faith and religion and making him doubt the more detailed it became. However, once Marty stopped listening to him it returned to less detail. It's an image of how the "farmer" was capturing Marty's soul and he was becoming the "farmers". But he loses that control over him and his faith is restored making the carving revert back.
    • Quotes

      Coach Tice: You know, football's a rough game; it's unpredictable. Life itself, squeezed into 60 minutes in 100 yards. Now, you can't control who your mom and daddy is, but you can control how hard you work. Sow with thought, you reap in action. Sow with action, you reap a habit. You sow a habit, you reap a character. You sow a character, you reap a destiny. Every place starts with a cadence and ends with a whistle. What you do in between, determines your legacy, so make sure you give it everything you've got until you hear that whistle.
