A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Bad acting, bad script, don't quite understand other reviews: "Powerful", "made me cry", "excellent, one of the best movies"... Please, come on!!! either these people 've never seen a movie before...(maybe too much video-gaming) or they want to support the basketball community...or so , maybe there is some quality ball playing , yet doesn't worth the suffering of enduring this piece of crap more that 10 minutes. On the other hand if you want to suffer , go ahead and take a peek and then , you tell me bro!

This was and is truly one of the most outstanding basketball movies of all time. I would urge anyone, anyone at all, regardless of their background relating to sports, to sit back and watch this movie, and to try to see it, feel it, through the eyes of the protagonists. It is unforgettable.

I really found this movie to be good. There are many elements that make the movie great. The actors really get into it and make you believe they are the players. First time actor Chris Staples turns in an astounding performance. The movie is inspiring and the best fact is it really happened. This movie is more than just a sports movie. It is a movie that shows dreams can come true. You watch a team of young guys bond and become a family. You see these guys win from all of their hard work and determination. Their win at the time for slam dunks was a miracle and even today watching this movie you get the same great feeling that these guys did the impossible. This is a great sports movie and even if you don't like sports, it is still a great movie.I highly recommend this movie to everyone. It is a movie that you should definitely see if you're down because it is a movie about hope. It is also about victory and when the movie is over it will have every red-blooded American cheering for the good old comebacks and Chris is definitely come back. This movie must have done something right because it had everyone get just as excited! The film also has a real "Indie" feel. It stars all kinds of unknowns and has all kinds of low-budget effects, the scenes mostly taking place on the rink or in locker rooms. There are many moments when your heart breaks for some of the players and their families.

First I'd like to say that I was relentless to watch this movie, I usually don't like sport related films but the fact that it's based on a true story made me change my mind, maybe is because I live in ciudad Juarez, the Mexico-USA Border and you learn a little history of Venice Beach or at least of the Los Angeles basketball crowd scene, the acting was amazing, it was a little fast paced but it was alright.....the acting was excellent.. the casting was perfect and the directing was superb!I couldn't get over how well put together this movie is. It simply flowed as though it had a life of its ownI suppose these days no Hollywood Studio will green-light a sports film unless its about the struggle of black minorities to overcome prejudice in the past and make a breakthrough in not getting attacked by the movie critics almost to the point where their racism is evident I know I said the characters are polarized in terms of alignment and that there are cheesy gems interwoven in the dialogue, but the truth is that the rest of the script is actually quite catchy. For one, it is simply much funnier than I could ever have hoped for with comic situations and good one-liners en masse. The characters may not be the most original ever but they are superbly supported by the cast's performances.I was also hoping for some ironic awareness that as well as seeing this story as a great civil rights victory of some kind that a black man wrongfully put in jail that this might have been the moment in time when somehow the message all started to go wrong: is this when the wheel turned so that education became a farce --and the only classes we see them in do seem to be dumbed down jock courses-- and all that mattered would be the human and other bling and signing to the NBA from high school? The sop is the brief glimpses we get of the real participants on Twitter and Facebook, and see pictures of the real players with brief descriptions of their career and family paths, many as teachers, including working as coaches from high school to professional leagues. How did it get from them to kids graduating with no non-basketball skills and no moral compass? This is a very high quality movie. It is a great movie for anyone 12 and over. The acting is superb! You didn't feel like you were watching a movie, you felt like you were watching the real story as it really happened.I think the dunking is something no Hollywood movie has ever achieved. Why? It's so amazing to see!"If you will quit today, you will be quitting, each and every day for the rest of your life."Verdict: A nice one..
