Let's play some football [American football:] in a nutshell; Sean Porter/Coach Sean Porter [Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson/Dwayne Johnson:] one of the runners of this  Camp Kilpatrick L.A County Probation Dept, he comes up the idea to offer this year's class of inmates the opportunity to join this football team/league to hopefully try and break the cycle of repeat offenders and alongside Malcolm Moore/Assistant Coach Malcolm Moore  [Xzibit:] he is another runner of this location, this is a story of those teams journey.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 126 minutes film is good it just settles down and gets on with the film.

Comedy, Action Character developments, performances; we have some comedy moments such as what to do with a protective cup and the potential of what could happen if you don't wear one and also Johnson switches between his wrestling persona The Rock and Johnson the film star for a brief example The Rock uses this small dialogue says " What in the blue hell?" Which is a part of The Rock's old material in his promos and yes I know when he comes back to the WWE these days he is known as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but in this case I had to clearly distinguish between The Rock the wrestler and Johnson the film star and before it someone points it out yes and TV star as well, he does get this old material in into this film so you will have to pay attention out for it. The action is basically gang warfare, domestic violence and the consequences of it in this case, training and game time; the training and game time is all good.

The character developments and performances; well on both counts these character developments and performances are representing these real people excellent way well [to cover my back I should point out as far as I can tell, I am not being disrespectful here, it is just through the ending credits we can see real-life footage of these people so I'm basing my knowledge and opinion of what I have seen.] But back to this film; this is very much a cast performance of good chemistry and it being led by Johnson and his partnership with Xzibit, even though he has his character or him as a performer is quieter Xzibit nicely balances out this partnership and chemistry between these two.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; if you like individually or/and Johnson, take a look at this film and Xzibit and yes just before I finish, it would be helpful if you liked American football as well.
