{"product_id":"gridiron-gang-full-screen-edition","title":"Gridiron Gang (Full Screen Edition) - 6366","description":"Product Description\n\nDwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson (The Rundown, Walking Tall) stars in this gritty and inspirational movie, based on a true story about a group of teenage delinquents given a second chance to redeem themselves by playing football.\n\nAmazon.com\n\nIn Gridiron Gang, Dwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson once again displays far more cinematic charisma than one could expect from a former professional wrestler. Sean Porter (Johnson, Be Cool), a football player turned juvenile detention counselor, wrestles with a seemingly insolvable problem: The vast majority of young men who leave detention fall right back into crime. Seeking a way to give these not-yet-hardened kids a taste of self-esteem and discipline, Porter persuades his superiors to let him teach the kids football--and then take on high school teams. Though based on a true story (documentary footage over the closing credits reveals that some dialogue was lifted straight from the real Sean Porter's mouth), Gridiron Gang is pure underdogs-overcome-adversity formula. A formula is not necessarily a bad thing; when executed with skill and commitment, fulfilling a classic story mechanism can be perfectly satisfying, and Gridiron Gang qualifies. But it's Johnson who carries it through, demonstrating--in the most unlikely of roles--a surprisingly gentle touch. Johnson manages to be manly without overbearing machismo, earning not only respect but empathy. --Bret Fetzer\n\n\n\n\n\nStills from Gridiron Gang (click for larger image)\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Gridiron Gang at Amazon.com\n\n\n\nMore Football Films\n\n\nThe Soundtrack\n\n\n\nFilms about Underdogs\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000KHYN9M\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B000KHYN9M.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: DVD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49566044815658,"sku":"GGV.B000KHYN9M.G","price":10.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_c50aacc7-1895-495e-801c-ab2a3c2c2b82.jpg?v=1731194896","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/gridiron-gang-full-screen-edition","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
