Trivia
The "Death Crawl" Exercise was something they came up with themselves that to their knowledge had never been done before. It was very strenuous, not just for the person on the bottom, but also the person on top. Most of it was filmed on a very hot day- 98 degrees. The sweat dripping from Jason McLeod's face at the end was real. He said that he lost about 8-10 pounds that day and was in pain from it. Alex Kendrick and others had to keep going under tents to stay dry.

Errores
During the championship game, after the Giants' second touchdown but before the Eagles' first touchdown, there is a scene where it is obvious the shot has been reversed. As the players struggle, it can be seen that the numbers and letters on the jerseys are backward.

Citas
J.T. Hawkins Jr.: You act like you gonna miss before you even kick the ball. See, we're gonna have to change your whole kicking philosophy. Now see, you kick it wide left, or wide right, but that ain't gonna get you home. The ball has got to go through the middle.
David Childers: I know, coach.
J.T. Hawkins Jr.: No, no, no! You don't! Now what does Scripture say about this? Scripture says wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction. And many that be there find it. Now to us; that's wide left, and wide right. But narrow is the gate and straight is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it. Anybody can kick it wide left and wide right. My momma can kick it wide left and wide right. But that ain't gonna get you home. It don't have to look great. It don't have to look smooth. It can look like a dying duck. But the ball has got to go through the middle. Now David, you gonna have to choose the narrow way. Cause that's the only path where you gonna get your reward.

Créditos curiosos
At the end of the credits, after "TO GOD BE THE GLORY!", some good advice follows: "FACE YOUR GIANTS!"

8/10

A very strong Christian movie.

PROS

+ Wonderful display how a leader can influence others through his faith, to follow the same, to have even a small revival on the football field and to fully trust in THEOS in the ups and downs of (football) life.

+ Great acting, which comes across as very natural.

+ Great display of the restoration of a relationship between a father and one of the players.

+ Good and honest display of the suffering of the coach.

CONS

The movie brings up the topic of in vitro fertilization, but fails to decidedly judge it. Brooke should have at least said to the doctor that she is a Christian and cannot follow such an approach. The couple did not do it in the end, but the viewer could be misled to consider it as an option, because he or she now associates it subconsciously with the Christian faith.

The movie oversimplifies the Good Message and displays it rather as something you receive than something you give. It would have been great if the coach would have taken his team to serve others, do some good works in the neighborhood or in a church, to have some Bible studies et al.

The Good Message is very different, it is predominantly about serving and trusting, and only eventually to receive something in return. This movie could lead especially new Christians to become quickly disappointed if they do not receive at least some small miracles.
