Pride

Pride is a very solid flic. Ill start with the good stuff. It has a pretty interesting story, had a good sound track, and its pacing is great. Our main character(Jim Ellis) is done very well by showing a hard working man finally get his chance to shine, and his relationship with all the boys and the guy who owns the school are also done well. What I also find surprising is while it is a underdog story, which I am sick of, its done in a way that makes it feel new, and not boring. The best part of the flic though is how big of a heart it has. Alright lets get to the bad stuff. Aside from the main character, a lot of the characters are not too interesting, except for Andre and his sister, but you cant blame them cause they have so many. That gangster story line isn't done very well, and the movie could of been the same without it. Its also pretty predictable what's going to happen at the end, but it had a very good ending. Overall, this is one of the better sports movies out there, and I am surprised that this movie is never really talked about because this is better than a lot of other sports movies, and didn't fall into typical sport movie traps. Overall I am very glad I saw it.
