This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2024

Every lad is a stereotype, every sporting cliché is trundled out.

| Mar 25, 2024

It’s one of Washington’s better performances, one that saw him embody the spirit of Boone’s mission with the kind of show-stopping gravitas that’s made the actor such a force.

| Sep 6, 2023

The beating heart of the story is still powerful and pertinent which makes this film not only highly watchable entertainment but a thought-provoking (and hopefully in some ways enlightening) crowdpleaser.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

So don't bring along your binoculars, folks, because you will be able to spot what is coming from some distance away.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2020

What's most amazing about these actors is that they make each player a well-defined individual.

| May 30, 2019

Denzel Washington is just excellent in this role.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 14, 2019

Inspiring football drama brings history to life.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

The crack-of-dawn jog to Gettysburg is the only hokey Hail Mary in an otherwise smart, stirring sports film. Consider "Titans" a PG-rated, kindhearted drill for the brutal sadism that would win Denzel Washington an Oscar for "Training Day."

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 17, 2010

The absence of innovation can easily be forgiven.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 14, 2010

The film is quite lightweight for the subject matter, but Washington and company make it watchable.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Although there's enough emotional manipulation here to fill a river with tears, it's hard not to be swept up...

| Jul 31, 2008

Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly.

| Jul 31, 2008

Yakin's hackwork is so slickly manipulative and preachy it has the tone of a politician's 온라인카지노추천 commercial...

| May 29, 2008

The leads, Denzel Washington and particularly Will Patton, are so good they occasionally make you forget the material is shameless.

| Mar 26, 2007

Unless you find the idea of such an earnest, well-meaning mixture of rah-rah sports action, social commentary and maudlin tearjerker off-putting from the start, you'll find that this example is professionally crafted and perhaps even momentarily stirring.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 24, 2006

The emphasis on the players' developing mutual trust, is absorbing to watch and cleanly directed.

| Jun 24, 2006

The film tries its best not to point fingers and avoids the strawmen racists that are so easily shown in other movies.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 15, 2006

One of the most entertaining films of the year.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 31, 2005

... a highly manipulative, utterly predictable and greatly entertaining film
