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 Stills from Gridiron Gang (click for larger image) Beyond Gridiron Gang at Amazon.com

Michael P. Brehmer (JACKSON, MI, US)
A great buy for anyone who is a big fan of the ROCK or loves football.
Gridiron Gang January 1, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
In the Kilpatrick juvenile detention center, the supervisor and former football player Sean Porter sees the lack of discipline, self-esteem, union and perspective in the teenage interns and proposes to prepare a football team to play in one league. He is supported by his superiors and his successful experience changes the lives of many young kids. Gridiron Gang entertains and makes a powerful point about the faults inherent in the penal system, particularly for youths with hopes of rehabilitation. The story is well told and keeps your attention throughout. This is a movie I would watch again.

Tracey A. Bauman (Tracey A Bauman Spfld IL)
I was able to get this one for us and I got it for my boyfriend I am glad it came right on time I was really glad that I was able to get something for him. this movie was good I haven't watched all of it but sometime when I am not so busy I will thanks again
Great movie November 9, 2008
E. Urriola (Nevada USA)
I'm not a huge fan of football movies, but this one goes beyond that. It has its cliched moments, but overall, it has a wonderful message. And the fact that it's based on real events is even better. A movie I think everyone should see.
A very good movie about an important real-time subject October 11, 2008
Panda Puppy (Sacramento, CA)
Dwayne Johnson did a very nice, sincere job in this part. The movie was a very believable, accurate portrayal of the subject matter.
