While Robby Benson and his girlfriend depict simple, two- dimensional characters in this movie, the supporting cast is
actually quite convincing. The story is interesting and told pretty
well, so the movie keeps up a good pace. While the end of the
movie is rather predictable, it is hard to not root for David to again
slay Goliath; this time using a Red Hot Poker as his only weapon.
Keep in mind that this movie came out in 1977, long before the
current crop of athletic and recruiting scandals, including a team
mate being charged with homicide at a major college. This
fictional tale (One on One) does not vary much from the reality that
some of these kids go through when they leave home for the first
time and enter the Big Business of college athletics.
