Last night I went to see this movie with a few friends. Coach Carter is one of the best sports movies I’ve ever seen. It’s based on a true story, so the plot is great and the movie was put together really well.
Samuel L. Jackson is always great and this movie is no exception. He plays the part of Coach Carter, a strict man looking to change the system. By the end of the film, he has changed the lives of his players, made boys into men, and become their friend. A feel good story all the way.
The movie was done well all-around. I’d never seen a lot of the actors, but they did well. Ashanti even plays a part in the film and comes through with a good performance. The basketball scenes from made me think I was actually watching a game. There were parts when I was squirming in my seat, because it was if I wanted to cheer when someone made a shot.
Overall it’s a great movie with a great story. Go see it. I give it a A.
