Glory Road (2006)
Should I see it?
Yes.

Glory Road

The piece certainly isn't breaking new ground. How many films can we have about civil rights "firsts"? Well a dozen or so as it turns out. This plays the typical formula: blacks get their first shot at something because a white guy sticks his neck out. Like most of films of this nature, it seems to be more about how heroic the white guy is, rather than about the blacks defeating bigotry. If you can swallow the pill this film offers it is a well structured piece that does entertain. You will get the feeling you've seen this before however.
