A Has-been Football star Earns redemption Serving time leading prison inmates' team; Tested when the warden blackmails him To throw the game. The cons are misfits, But With Guidance Play like pros. Fun characters, But endless game with split screens was no fun. Clichéd "guy film" achieves wide appeal by Crossing genres- Satire, Drama, Sports, With Real-life Football stars, Real-life prison. Unlike the story, the pros beat the cons.
