    I enjoyed this one for the strength his character showed when faced with adversity. Our kids need to see, that giving up is not an answer to life's challenges. Well Done!






    Although this one follows a familar storyline of reforming troubled youths the fact that it was based on true story allowed you to get more personal with the cast and see how this must have truely changed the lives of many of the young men that particiapted in this program.

    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a talented and gorgeous actor ;]
    This is a story of second chances, truly believing in others & you're self .
    Really liked how they showed the old footage gave it reality.
    You can imagine how hard the actors would have worked to portray the real life charactors & I honestly think they did a brilliant job.
    Loved every minute of this film well worth the watch!
