In Gridiron Gang, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson once again displays far more cinematic charisma than one could expect from a former professional wrestler. Sean Porter (Johnson, Be Cool), a football player turned juvenile detention counselor, wrestles with a seemingly insolvable problem: The vast majority of young men who leave detention fall right back into crime. Seeking a way to give these not-yet-hardened kids a taste of self-esteem and discipline, Porter persuades his superiors to let him teach the kids football--and then take on high school teams. Though based on a true story (documentary footage over the closing credits reveals that some dialogue was lifted straight from the real Sean Porter's mouth), Gridiron Gang is pure underdogs-overcome-adversity formula. A formula is not necessarily a bad thing; when executed with skill and commitment, fulfilling a classic story mechanism can be perfectly satisfying, and Gridiron Gang qualifies. But it's Johnson who carries it through, demonstrating--in the most unlikely of roles--a surprisingly gentle touch. Johnson manages to be manly without overbearing machismo, earning not only respect but empathy. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Gridiron Gang (Widescreen Edition) [Region 99]

An okay movie...
Could have been more motivating though. Youth have a hard time and this movie definitely shows the motives, struggles, and hardships they will have to overcome in order to make it in this life.

Wonderful
The Gridiron Gang is based on the true story of Sean Porter, a probation officer who started a football program at Camp Kilpatrick, a California juvenile offender facility. The film, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Porter, was inspired by a documentary of the same name. <
> <
>The Gridiron Gang starts out formulaic, with Porter spouting all manner of coach cliches, like "Before, you were all losers. Now, you are Mustangs." But as the film goes on, and you get wrapped up in the story, it is inspirational, motivational, and will move some to tears. It did me. <
> <
>The Rock is great. He has football experience, having gone to college on a football scholarship, and played on a collegiate national championship team. His experience and love of the game shine through. But although he is a capable star, the film belongs to the young men who played the Mustang's first team. They really got into the movie and make you believe you are watching the actual events. <
> <
>The epilouge is satisfying. It shows what happened to the players on the team, and shows snatches of the real documentary, the real Porter, and the real players. And if you haven't cried by then? You will now, I guarantee it. <
