What a remarkable story!
This story was inspiring, frustrating, frightening and at times heart warming. The fact that it was based on a true story made it even more remarkable knowing that someone lived that horror and still had the hope and faith that someday they would be allowed to live and love freely.

My All American is based on a true story of a college football hopeful turned standout who is faced with a life altering diagnosis that will change the lives of everyone around him forever.
Very strong performance by both Aaron Eckhart and Finn Whitrock (fun fact: this is the first movie that I ever saw that Finn starred in.)
I'm a sucker for a true story, especially when it involves sports. If you are, you should definitely put this film on your list.

Down the river
Been meaning to see for a while but can't say it particularly grabbed me. Based on a true story of a skier who got injured and begins a high stakes poker game.
I like poker but it doesn't actually feature much on the poker games. More of a biography of her. Not the most interesting story, one for Jessica Chastain fans.

A solid boxing film based on a true story. This is all about the characters and Bale's performance is incredible and steals the show. More drama than a sports film or action film. It would have been nice to see a little more ring action, however the real story is the lives of the family members involved. Great film!

David Harbour
A good Sport action film based on the game
A Film based on a true story of a game player who got a chance to race for real.
The racing scenes are very impressive and even some good SFX going from Simulation to real world. The off track story feels a bit cliché but David Harbour stands out from a mixed cast which includes Geri Halliwell. In terms of race action up there with Rush and Ford Vs Ferrari.

Very good feel good film
An enjoyable feel good film as a coach with tough methods aims to to turn around the fortunes of the boys on his team, on and off the court. Samuel L Jackson is great in his role and although predictable it's a fun feel good film based on a true story.

A proper inspirational weepie
Great performances all round based on this amazing true story. A gentle, touching drama that is made all the more special by the fact it is produced by Robin Cavendish's son, Jonathan.
This story truly educates us on how disabled peoples lives where changed and just how much further we could go if people are brave enough.
