We Are Marshall

Inspirational And Well Done
DB - wrote on 03/19/08

We Are Marshall brings emotion and inspiration in a time when most sports movies fail, mostly because it's based on true events. In this clean, crisp, and entertaining film, the University of Marshall goes through a very tough time when almost the entire football team dies in a plane crash. You get the story from several different angles: the assistant coach and players that weren't on the plane, the engaged cheerleader, and a couple town residents.

It shows well how a new coach brought a program back, along with a town by bringing back a football team destined for doom. It really hits home in the credits when you see actual footage from the time. While this film is not on the same plane as Rudy or Hoosiers, it's definitely worth a look.

3.5/4
