Chris B @Papa13070 May 18 This was a very well acted movie. Dennis Quaid did a great job of playing the coach and Rob Brown was the perfect choice for Ernie Davis. The ratings this movie has received so far are not in line with the quality of this film. This movie in no way presented a political point of view. The only thing political was what happened in real life. This was the recognition given to Ernie by the president of the time. (which was JFK) Other than this movie was more inspirational. It showed the character of Ernie Davis and the faith he had in his own abilities, his coach, family and his God. Ernie Davis has reshaped College sports. Due to his ability to cope with hatred and racism in a positive way. The game of college sports has vastly become more professional. The talent of teams today is far greater than the past. Ernie opened the door foe all races in sports; thus increasing the abilities of the teams. I highly recommend this film.

The movie may be cheesy at times, and like any "true story" movie it takes some creative liberties. But a film like this should be a little cheesy and there should be some extra drama. The acting is all good, you completely lose the actors in the performance. Dennis Quaid, Rob Brown, and look at that even Chadwick Boseman shows up, all do a great job. It's a good Sports movie intermixed with some racial drama and all is done well in a very tight no nonsense presentation.

It's good, with all of the typical clichés you'd expect, but with the dose of positive change and overcoming challenges that just make it all feel good! Overall, an insight into Davis and his huge achievements. Imagining what more he would have done if he'd lived longer, is a humbling thought See more 03/13/2022 Man's inhumanity to man is seen in all its ugliness! I didn't know Mr. Davis' story. The US has So much restitution to make up for! One man of the 2020's took a knee for all of us! He took it for Davis to thank him for his efforts in the 1950's-1960's. We all have to do our part!
