The Gridiron Gang Inspires Me

I just finished watching a movie called Gridiron Gang. It came out on September 15, 2006 and starred Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as Phil Joanou. Gridiron Gang is about a group of kids on the streets and in gangs who are put into juvenile detention centers after committing crimes. While in detention, one of the workers has the idea of starting a football team to discipline them and show them how to work as a team. When they get out of the detention center, some kids go back to their gangs, some of them die, and the rest continue playing football and getting scholarships.

It was the perfect movie because of the story and acting. The actors took their roles seriously. The movie aims to inspire kids to get off the streets and out of gangs before they get killed so they can do more with their lives.

The movie did a beautiful job of trying to get kids out of that type of life to give them better chances and opportunities. I think you should watch this movie because it's very good and heartwarming. It can motivate you to do better in life, and it can open your eyes to our own potential. I give the movie 5 stars!
