CRITICS OF "Gridiron Gang"

Film Journal International

Despite the occasional mixed message and overwrought moment, Gridiron Gang is a sincere, moving film about a worthwhile subject

March 01, 2007

Resource

Ebert & Roeper

Well intentioned, but way too corny, way too over the top...

September 18, 2006

ComingSoon.net

It's a difficult balancing act between gang life and the sports film where inspiring moments can very easily become maudlin and wearing. Gridiron Gang slips and stumbles a bit in the second half but for the most part makes it across whole.

March 22, 2011

Resource

USA Today

Gridiron entertains and makes a powerful point about the faults inherent in the penal system, particularly for youths with hopes of rehabilitation.

September 15, 2006

Resource

UGO

The surprisingly effective Gridiron Gang will find its way into that harshly defended emotional endzone, even if they might not necessarily admit it to their friends.

March 24, 2007

ColeSmithey.com

Dwayne Johnson pushes his emotionally charged performance so hard that you think he might pop a blood vessel.

April 25, 2009

Resource

Empire Magazine

What begins as a series of pleasant revelations and a deft example of genre defiance is nearly crippled by cliche in its second half, but The Rock's surprising dramatic magnetism will hold you until the final whistle.

January 29, 2007

Resource

ViewLondon

Watchable, decently made drama with some strong performances, but the script is disappointing given the real-life story behind the film.

February 01, 2007

Resource

Variety

Auds will respond, either to the uplifting message and the solid action sequences.

September 15, 2006

AV Club

If The Rock could clone himself to appear in juvenile halls across the country, the recidivism rate would get body-slammed within a few weeks.

September 23, 2006

Chicago Reader

... as Robert Aldrich proved in The Longest Yard, a football movie should be able to hit harder.

September 15, 2006

Washington Post

... a lugubrious tutorial on the importance of being a winner.
