Critic Reviews of "The Express"
Time OutDecember 05, 2008The sports-movie template is capable of absorbing any story and delivering the same uplift.
At the MoviesNovember 10, 2008Rob Brown did a nice job.
Chicago TribuneOctober 18, 2008The film does the job, in its conventional way. But it's geared to throw the prime screen time in the direction of the guy playing the guy coaching the guy who's supposed to be running the movie.
USA TodayOctober 18, 2008Despite appealing performances and kinetic football scenes, the storytelling is mostly conventional, except for two outstanding set pieces.
Christian Science MonitorOctober 13, 2008The Express may prove valuable to movie historians since it's a compendium of virtually every sports movie cliché ever contrived.
Times-PicayuneOctober 23, 2009It makes the most of its on-the-field drama, but it tends toward gross generalizations and oversentimentality. ... As a result, the film is burdened with hokiness.
Laramie Movie ScopeJuly 31, 2009The movie also has its heart in the right place and it is as earnest as it can be. It simply falls short of being a great movie.
7M PicturesMarch 05, 2009At times The Express couldn't decide whether it was telling a story of racial tensions, a general inspirational sports film or the tragic biography of Ernie Davis
Fayetteville Free WeeklyFebruary 01, 2009The Express is running on two rails at the same time. There's sentiment, which is true. And there's sentimentality, which is not. At its best, The Express is a moving tribute; at its worst, it's conventional manipulation.
Apollo GuideJanuary 03, 2009While there's nothing remarkable about the way director Gary Fleder has brought The Express to the screen, this is a solid film that does justice to Davis' legacy.
Empire MagazineDecember 05, 2008While never as trailblazing as its subject, The Express is a worthy addition to the lengthy canon of sports biopics.
