What are critics saying?

89

Austin Chronicle

It's worth seeing the action scenes on the big screen, and to get in the mood for the World Cup opener later this month.

80

L.A. Weekly by F. X. Feeney

Demonstrating yet again that he knows few limits as an actor, Duvall not only nails the accent, he inhabits the man's flinty, grudge-bearing contrariness with such a furious commitment that it brings out the best in the actors around him.

75

Miami Herald

Registers as a more scenic "Hoosiers" with rowdier fans.

70

New Times (L.A.) by Andy Klein

Solidly entertaining little film.

50

Variety by Derek Elley

Mediocre, dramatically flat picture.

50

Charlotte Observer by Lawrence Toppman

For all the satisfying details in the script, the big picture remains hopelessly and intentionally trite.

50

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Not as distinctive or even as humorous as its needs to be to stand out, but it has clearly been made with affection and care.
