I enjoyed this movie, although if I had been looking for some good drama to go with the football action, I would've been disappointed. Luckily, I am a sports fan, and enjoyed those parts quite a bit. It was a longer-than-average film, running 2 hours, and at least an hour and a half was football. It was this way right from the beginning, which starts with one of the inmates jumping another inmate. Although the film does touch on such issues as racism and gangs, it's not quite as deep as it makes itself out to be. That's not a problem, though, because the action and acting make up for what it lacks in character depth (we only learn about one character and how he got into the camp, and he's a prisoner). Even the main character's background is only hinted at (played by The Rock). Despite this fact, though, Gridiron Gang is a quality film that keeps you engaged for its entire two hours.
