Hello Sports Fans

Yes of course, Hello Sports Fans, because here's another sports-themed movie that I caught a few days back.

Gridiron Gang

Now in this movie, at least there's some passion for life exhibited by the folks who starred in this flick. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is finally showing that he can truly act. I don't see the lame eyebrow-raising move that is his trademark. Which is a good thing, because I'm a fan of the The Rock. He's one tough dude.

Now the story tells of a true-life account of what a probation officer at a probationary institute for juvenile delinquents did. The setting here is a Camp situated somewhere in California, where the officer by the name of Sean Porter, decides that something must be done to arrest the problem of their kids going back to their gangs and drugs after their release.

It's a superb storyline, one that I truly liked. My GF didn't want to see this at first, but she agreed that it was a good story. Here's a lesson that these delinquents can reform themselves, but only if they are given a chance to, and have something to aim for in life.

Kudos to the director and to The Rock himself for the great movie and superb acting.

I rate this: 8.5/10 for the content alone. :)
