A very good movie in itself, but if you are familiar with the underlying story, you find inconsistencies. Acting wise, done near flawlessly. I didn't like that the person whom the story was based around was relegated to a mere supporting character.
I normally don't like sports movies - but this one was much more than just a sports movie. Sandra Bullock was fantastic, this is the best role I've ever seen her in, and the rest of the cast was pretty good as well. Excellent.
