Editorial Reviews

Finding Forrester star Rob Brown steps into the cleats of Heisman Trophy-winning gridiron giant Ernie Davis in director Gary Fleder's inspirational sports docudrama. As a young boy reared not far from the northern Pennsylvania state line, Davis dreamed of blasting through the end zone and scoring a triumphant touchdown while fans rose to their feet and cheered. When Davis later became a star running back for the Syracuse Orangemen, his dreams were finally on the way to becoming a reality. Under the wing of coach Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid), it seemed as if there is nothing that could stop Davis from entering into the annals of sports history; even during an era in which the civil rights movement was just gaining momentum, this fledgling gridiron giant never once doubted his ability to rise to the top. When Davis was diagnosed with leukemia shortly after being drafted into the NFL, however, his will to survive soon eclipsed his dreams of success. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi All Movie Guide

September 27, 2010: I felt the coach's character used God's name in vain way too often. From what I have heard the real coach was a devout Christian and never swore. I enjoyed the movie due to the fact it showed a young man with character, passion, and perseverance.

I Also Recommend: We Are Marshall, October Sky, Red River, Rudy, Crossing Delancey.

September 27, 2010: Movie tells the true story of Syracuse University running back Ernie Davis, the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. Great performance by Dennis Quaid as Syracuse Coach Ben Schwartzwalder. Strong support by Rob Brown, Omar Benson, Charles Dutton and Darren Dewitt Henson. Quaid's portrayal of Coach Ben, a Normandy WWII hero, is outstanding. Davis, wore the legendary number 44 for Syracuse as did Jim Brown and Floyd Little.

Production values and football action scenes are major league. The movie's climax, where Ernie is introduced to Cleveland Browns fans, is right up there with the very best moments ever put on film. Director Gary Fleder has created a great movie for sports fans of all ages and families. Very inspirational along the lines of Rudy and October Sky. A definite must have addition to your DVD collection.
