Glory Road

All time sports movie!

This is a story of the past worth knowing! Such a great movie, very inspirational. Not a basketball fan, but definitely rooting for this team. Beautiful side of humanity. Well done Disney.

Entretenida, mas relacionada al deporte que al racismo lo que la hace emocionante al ser hechos reales.

Great acting and good story. Really keeps you into it

The underdog team must come together to win and learn some life lessons along the way. This time the underdog team is the 1966 Texas Western College basketball team which was the first to put together an all-black starting lineup in NCAA history. This film explores race relations during the late 1960's and does so unfiltered. Some of the scenes are very effective in pulling you into the culture of the time. I'm not sure if it was the writing, editing or direction, but there seemed to be several plot points that were built up that never came to a head or were ignored later in the film. I also think that the score didn't build up the suspense very well. The pop music used in the film seemed appropriate, but disappeared in the second half of the film creating a disconnect. I found the most interesting part of the film was during the credits when they showed interviews of the actual people that were portrayed in the film. If you enjoy this style of film, then give this movie a try, but it isn't for everyone.

this tells a good dramatic story of history which I like, it has a bit of decent laughs to get through and like In Miracle shows a coach with good motivation.

The greatest mistake in this movie is the N-word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mid-00s Disney really knocking it out the park. 'Glory Road' is another top film from this period from them. Early on this feels like a 'Remember the Titans', even a 'Coach Carter', copycat but it actually ends up creating its own thing. Those two films are also great, but I felt this one nailed the emotion and rawness of events just that little bit better - the sports action also feels more real, at least to me. Josh Lucas is very good as Don. I don't necessarily think he gives an outstanding performance in the grand scheme of things, but it's a perfect performance for the role itself. Elsewhere, Damaine Radcliff (Cager), Al Shearer (Shed) and Mehcad Brooks (Flournoy) are all good too. Enthralling plot, well written dialogue, terrific score, an important message and a cast that seemed to gave their all. A quality film, even with the usual Disney slant/tendencies. My only criticism? That fake nose on Jon Voight, wow!

It a powerful film that does a great job tackling its tough material. Sort of a Basketball version of Remember the Titans.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Even if you don't like basketball, this is a great film. The acting is well done, the soundtrack is Amazing!! It won an ESPY award and was nominated for other awards as well. Seriously good movie! Highly recommend.
