One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

A wonderful, inspiring, compelling and provocative story with an excellent look at the beauty, intensity and thrilling excitement of rugby!The beauty of the Maori inspired Haka is thrilling to watch. The inspiration of its values and the Maori idea of Manna (honor) and staying strong (kia kaha) is well portrayed.

This movie was great. I loved the plot and the idea of this film. I would recommend for any person and athletes, as well, to watch this film. This film really teaches you how to become a successful team mate and it shows the true colors of being a team player. I love how this film faces obstacles that any athlete in today's life could face. Athletes today face a tough world out there with influential friends leading you into drugs, alcohol, etc. This film touched on situations that any normal teenager can face today. Either drugs, alcohol, hanging around the wrong group of "friends" and even problems at home that family's can face with teens ending up in jail. What I really liked about this movie is how the main character changed his life completely around and bettered him self through the art of family and team. This shows the true colors of what a team can do for a teen. It could keep them from ending up in jail or even dead. Great ending as well, simply loved how it showed how the team completely bettered him into becoming someone great and not foolish like how he was in the beginning of the film.

This film was enjoyable to watch even being a person not knowing anything about rugby it gave a good background to the sport about the emotion put into it. It shows how much rugby is different from other sports and how different the background of the sports were. There also weren't parts where you got bored and find yourself falling asleep. There was always something to look forward to and felt like you were apart of the issues and family that they had in the Highland Rugby team. This movie had a moving and emotional road with the main character from the start to finish where people might feel a connection toward him. The film was good overall and is worth watching.

Having recently watched Clint Eastwood's 2009 US release of 'Invictus' (Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon et al) about how newly-installed President Nelson Mandella used the game of rugby at it's World Championship level to unite a badly torn South Africa in the 1990s, I was also inspired by this little-known independent film by Ryan Little on a smaller scale. I was glad to see the results were drawn-on and created-from real-life events (BTW, it is NOT a 'Hollywood production' as so many of you have incorrectly stated). It's a small budget film with credible actors who had the courage and took the time to portray this compilation of real events. If you didn't care for the 'accuracy' on the rugby field, the pregame Maori chants or actor flaws you're too narrowly focused and missed the whole point of the film. Shame on you. IMHO, it displayed exactly what it was intended to do - a depiction of the rehabilitation of wayward young men through the supreme efforts required in an extremely rugged sport ('...soccer's for kids, football's for wuss's, rugby's for men' - remember the line?). I was impressed with the efforts of all concerned to show it's possible to make directional - and good - changes in one's life through hard effort, intra-personal inspection, team unity and a willingness to listen to gentle and persistent instruction from those wiser than you. I genuinely enjoyed the film. And this one, and 'Invictus', have given me a totally new appreciation for the sport of rugby; I'm learning more as I study it and am looking forward to watching my first 'live' game. I'm thinking I could become a real fan...beats the heck out of lame US football.
