Premise
Gene Hackman saves a high school basketball team.
Who should watch
Fans of Gene Hackman or Dennis Hopper. Basketball fans.
Thoughts
I did not see what was so great about it. I loved the Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper scenes, but that was more about their screen presence than the story. The early scenes about the town's zealous attitude was well done.
However, when it came to the basketball, it felt generic and unexciting. Perhaps I have seen too many parodies and copycats to understand the emotional aspect of the story.
What I would change
Fleshed out the players better.
