We Are Marshall (2006) 6/10

Starring : Matthew McConaughey, Matthew Fox, Anthony Mackie, David Strathairn, Ian McShane, Kate Mara, January Jones
Director : McG
Running Time : 128 mins

Following the death of a number of their football players in a plane crash, Marshall University all but gives up on its football programme, with the existing coach (Fox) quitting over the incident, until they employ Coach Jack Lengyel (McConaughey), who plans on rejuvenating the sport for the remaining football players at the college.

This is one of those feel good after a disaster movies that Americans seems to relish so much. McConaughey is good as the new coach of the team, and Fox's gradual change for the better is acted well. Sadly there's not much else to this movie, so steer clear unless you want to sit through over two hours of very little.
