Critic Reviews of "Gridiron Gang"
AV ClubSeptember 23, 2006If The Rock could clone himself to appear in juvenile halls across the country, the recidivism rate would get body-slammed within a few weeks.
Ebert & RoeperSeptember 18, 2006Well intentioned, but way too corny, way too over the top...
Chicago ReaderSeptember 15, 2006... as Robert Aldrich proved in The Longest Yard, a football movie should be able to hit harder.
Washington PostSeptember 15, 2006... a lugubrious tutorial on the importance of being a winner.
VarietySeptember 15, 2006Auds will respond, either to the uplifting message and the solid action sequences.
USA TodaySeptember 15, 2006Gridiron entertains and makes a powerful point about the faults inherent in the penal system, particularly for youths with hopes of rehabilitation.
ComingSoon.netMarch 22, 2011It's a difficult balancing act between gang life and the sports film where inspiring moments can very easily become maudlin and wearing. Gridiron Gang slips and stumbles a bit in the second half but for the most part makes it across whole.
ColeSmithey.comApril 25, 2009Dwayne Johnson pushes his emotionally charged performance so hard that you think he might pop a blood vessel.
UGOMarch 24, 2007The surprisingly effective Gridiron Gang will find its way into that harshly defended emotional endzone, even if they might not necessarily admit it to their friends.
Film Journal InternationalMarch 01, 2007Despite the occasional mixed message and overwrought moment, Gridiron Gang is a sincere, moving film about a worthwhile subject
ViewLondonFebruary 01, 2007Watchable, decently made drama with some strong performances, but the script is disappointing given the real-life story behind the film.
Empire MagazineJanuary 29, 2007What begins as a series of pleasant revelations and a deft example of genre defiance is nearly crippled by cliche in its second half, but The Rock's surprising dramatic magnetism will hold you until the final whistle.
