This film is good don't get me wronge but it's not by any means at the same level as other films like it it's no coach carter the main thing that let's it down is the main character this kid cannot act said the same when he was in power he has no expression just awful cannot understand how he keeps getting picked for roles
I wanted this to be so much more than it was. Not much weight to its construction and some might even say it lacks genuine feel for the game or the struggle of being a modern student athlete.
This happens everywhere in basketball , nobody can stop it now.
The movie only shows basketball and corruption, as a movie you cant say its great, you could say slow and boring. BUT SHOW IT to all young players and their parents, they need to see it because thats exactly how it goes in real life
I had this movie in my Netflix queue for several years before finally watching it. I am a big fan of Last Change U Basketball as well as just watching Prep basketball and I always knew shady things happened OR even how these prep schools exist. THis movie does a decent job of showing how adults mishandle the kids knowing good and well they will profit off them. I feel like if given a great director and producers to back this film it could have been a great movie - that being said I am not sure many want this story to be told because millions are being made with this lifestyle. Good sit down movie to watch but the ending def needed work as others have mentioned.
