A good football flick about new black coach, Denzel Washington, of a high school football team in a newly integrated school in the 70's. It succeeds in depicting the tension between the different races and how they eventually come to resolve it. Many sports scenes are good however the film's strongest point is the craftful character development. It's not a great film but worthy of your view.
