SYNOPSIS:

Football is a game that knocks you down then expects you to get back up. Life hit the West Virginia town of Huntington and its Marshall University even harder. When it did, Jack Lengyel came by to help pull them onto their feet by taking the job no one wanted: rebuilding the Marshall football program only months after a plane crash wiped out Marshall's beloved Thundering herd.

Matthew McConaughey portrays Lengyel, the energetic, compassionate coach of inexperienced players whose chances of victory are slim and none. They'll go with the slim. And as they do, their true-life story of heart, healing and football will thrill and inspire you. It's game day. Time to play till the whistle blows.

MOVIE REVIEW:
  

We Are Marshall ranks as another great sports movie even though I know next to nothing about the great American sport of football - the bone-crunching wrestling version.

Running against the grain of most sports movies, the sports team in question does not win against every team against all odds. In fact, the football coach narrated in this movie resigned from Marshall University with a 9-33 record. Who says sports is all about winning?

Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox both gave believable performances in this movie, though the greatest performances go to Anthony Mackie as the team captain with the literal chip on his shoulder and David Strathairn, who totally kicked ass as the sacked university president
.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

Special features include a series of interviews conducted with great college coaches, a short piece on Marshall University and its alumni as well as the theatrical trailer.

AUDIO/VISUAL:

Great visual transfer and the movie can be watched in English or Thai, and subtitles are available in English, Chinese, Korean, Thai or Bahasa Indonesia.
