Glory Road

GLORY ROAD is about more than a college basketball team in the mid-1960s playing its way to the championship: it is the true story of a coach and his team taking a stand against discrimination in order to play their best game. As the new men's basketball coach at Texas Western, Don Haskins has one goal: to win. At a time when most Southern universities had few black players on their teams and rarely played more than two at the same time, Haskins recruits an unprecedented seven black players for his team and often has three of them starting. His new additions have played on the streets of the South Bronx between breaks at a Detroit steel company, and added fancy moves with the hope of playing for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Pros The best performance of Josh Lucas' career.
Cons Unrealistic basketball sequences, thin plot, Jon Voight
Recommended it? No

Glory Road are two love stories, racial injustice, basketball action, and just about anything related to a feel good sports movie. I suppose you are expected to come out of the theater loving Bruckheimer films but the reality sets in and you are annoyed that you spent ten bucks when you could have... Read full review »

Pros Josh Lucas, a story that was worth revisiting
Cons A little too slick, like most of Bruckheimer
Recommended it? Yes

I was fortunate, during my viewing of "Glory Road" to be sharing an almost empty movie theater one afternoon with a famous pro football coach and his family of young boys. I say that because I might have made light of the film that I saw, contrasting it to more serious and worthy sports films (Does... Read full review »
