At 59, Mike Flynt may be too old to be on a college football field, but not too old to feel the weight of unfinished business. After nearly four decades, he returns to his alma mater to take the hit that changed everything. Bruised, doubted, and nearly broken, he pushes for one more game, not for glory, but for the teammates he lost, the family he fractured, and the ending he still believes is possible.
Sure it might be a bit formulaic and predictable, but I think it executed it in quite an effective way. I really enjoyed this movie, a lot more than I expected too. I think Michael Chiklis brings a lot to the role that really helps carry the film. I just thought he did a really good job. Really everyone does pretty solid job. I also just think it's a really cool story. I love a good redemption story, which this really is. A man living with many regrets proving to himself that he can be more than that. I really enjoyed this. 8.5/10
