Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

jry345 It was apparently a shocker to a few of the reviewers here, but Greater includes some Christian themes in it. If that offends you, then you probably wouldn't like this movie. If it does not offend you, then you should enjoy it. The movie is well produced, the acting is good, it is well paced, and it is definitely inspiring. And it all based fairly closely on real events. I'd give it 7 out of 10 for production value and acting, and then bump it up to 8 because it was enjoyable and inspiring.This is mostly a football biography movie, but adds in a Christian theme in the second half. I think they only people that won't enjoy this movie are people that dislike or resent the Christian content.

rloliver5 https://www.facebook.com/greaterthemovie/about/ OK friends and fans here is my review of Greater. First let me start by saying that Neal McDonough who was the older brother Marty in this film was excellent in his acting. Kudos! Most importantly as executive producer (Money man) he had confidence in a less known up and coming actor in Chris Severio. So much so that he put it all on the line by casting Mr. Severio as the lead Brandon Burlsworth. And let me say that decision was a good one. I saw the sacrifices and dedication of this young actor to bring to life Brandons character all the while maintaining the respect and dignity of this young mans family and character. Chris Severio did an excellent job as lead which is a tremendous amount of pressure in and of itself. The amount of time and physical sacrifice this actor put into his performance is obvious. The long awaited end result must have been a personal reward for this young actor.The entire cast was a good example of ensemble togetherness. I did not see egos or any upstaging in the entire film. Living in Arkansas for sometime I always said that a film shot there showing the great fall colors and landscape would present some awesome cinematography. And this film did just that. Even the locals that were cast came through to make a GREATER overall film of a young man with strength, character and faith. I recommend this film for good family viewing as there was no harsh language or explicit scenes at all. Just good story telling and family values. "And" this is a true story!!!!! Go get your copy today at Walmart for a very reasonable price and at Amazon today.

grujaxxx I really wasn't expecting much, since football is a theme that's been used over and over in Hollywood. And it's always heartwarming story, about effort, trust, teamwork, hard work and so on. I supposed this one wasn't going to be much different, and lowered my expectations. It turned out to be all of the above, but wrapped in huge religious propaganda. Whole movie is based on faith, music is religious, quotes are religious, literally everything is related to religion, even though the movie is supposed to be about football and hard work. If you don't mind religious brainwashing every few minutes, then this movie is quite OK. Yes, some actors didn't pull their weight, and there is no suspense whatsoever in this movie, it's quite predictable, but it could be an OK movie. Yet I barely managed to watch it to the very end because of all of those religious quirks, I felt I just watched Iehova's witness training program.

crescentviewbnb Based on a true story, the story involves an overweight athlete with an overwhelming desire to become an Arkansas Razorback football player. Life is not easy for Brandon Burlesworth. He faces challenges that seem insurmountable to overcome. Brandon possesses an extraordinary personality that few people exhibit. He is never quick to anger, learns to motivate others, and as the story unfolds, Brandon develops into a prime example of being a optimistic type motivator that guides his team into a winning one.When watching the story unfold, we were not all that familiar with the life of Burlesworth. The last part of the story, for us, was unexpected. However, the first and middle parts of the story keeps providing hints of how the story line will come to its end.This film rivals some of the best sports related movies of all time. Still, since the story delves on the meaning of life, and slightly touches on God and one's faith, YUP, Hollywood will never like this movie and we are afraid it will simply be in theaters a short time and go to DVD in a few months.Hopefully, while Greater is on the big screen it will have staying power and have a long run through word of mouth, high ratings, and positive reviews.
