Gridiron Gang

Interesting to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reprising a role Lou Gossett Jr. made famous in the 1993 made for television version of this story about a counselor in a juvenile detention centre who uses the game of football to help reform troubled inner city kids. Johnson is perfect for this role as football, depsite being from a family of wrestlers, was his first love and you can see how comfortable he is with the subject matter here. That said. GRIDIRON GANG is nothing special though the documentary footage of the kids the film is based on used during the ending credits is of interest. There are some very serious moments throughout but again nothing to write home about.
