How wonderful he was to be "color blind" when coaching the game of basketball, down in the south where there was so much cruelty and prejudice. This was a heartfelt movie where often, I got upset to see how cruel people would be to others, just because of the color of their skin. Anyway, go see the movie, it is great!

Glory Road doesn't have any of the individual moments that humanized Hoosiers, The Rookie, and Miracle.
It's a feel-good sports movie by the numbers. Playing out like Remember The Titans for basketball fans, Glory Road is yet another would-be inspirational true story that follows sports-movie conventions. Why must Hollywood lace every African-American drama with elements of comedy, as if black people find everything comical?
It isn't meant to be a movie that makes us think, or that makes us uneasy in any way. It's meant to make us feel good. That's the thing I noticed with every sports films, no matter what story kit is, no matter how they spin it, it always ends up feeling like the same old film.
I'm not saying that this is a bad film; however I do think that every sports drama navigates the usual territory that every other film in the genre tends to go through. The story is good, and the cast do a good job in their roles. The film works well enough to be an entertaining drama, but it is also flawed. I liked the film, but to be honest, I never really was a big Basketball all fan, so I simply view this one as a watchable, but quite forgettable sports drama.
For what it is, it's an entertaining film, but it's no different than other film in this genre. The cast are good in their roles, and Josh Lucas delivers a performance that saves this film from being a total disappointment. Though a good film, this isn't a film I would rewatch again.
Glory Road
Though a worthy film to watch, Glory Road doesn't stand out. I enjoyed it for what it was, but felt it was missing something to really make it stand out. For me anyways, one of the best sports dramas that tried something totally new was Moneyball. Glory Road isn't a revolutionary film, but it's entertaining to say the least. Cliche, yes but a good cliche type of movie.
Descent to good acting and a great story make for a good sports film here. Beyond the excellence of sports movies and Josh Lucas never ceases to amazes me in movies and the lives of the other basketball stories are inspiring as well: Is it the greatest sports movie ever, no, but was it a good one, yes. A very interesting story and a few plot mistakes from real life from what ive read.
The acting and backrounds of the characters were pretty good. I really enjoyed this movie, a true movie for sport movie lovers. More Top Movies Trailers Forums.
