The acting and production design were not great. The story, however, is really cool. The real life story is one of the best underdog stories of all time and I think that was pretty accurately represented here. I actually enjoyed showing seeing how much his family life was impacted as well. I do wish there was more actual football here. I think the arena scenes are the best scenes in the entire movie because the cinematography is actually good. But as much as I like this, the emotion wasn't great. This just isn't The Rookie which is what I put every underdog biopic up against.
