The filmmakers are at the top of their game.

[A] compelling, enjoyable yarn.

The setting in early 1950s Indiana adds nice texture to the story, but the endless games with the usual ups and downs outstay their welcome.

A tale of heroic sportsmanship.

Basketball movies don't get any better.

An enjoyable, if conventional and manipulative small-town sports melodrama, boasting strong turns from Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper, who received his only acting nomination for his part.

Pic belongs to Hackman, but Dennis Hopper gets another opportunity to put in a showy turn as a local misfit.

Shameless, yes, but open your eyes, close your mind, sit back and enjoy.

The kind of corny and manipulative pic that makes me glad I'm not a basketball fan.

Bobby Knight would not be amused, though Tark the Shark might've had a good laugh at the naive masquerade.

Cloyingly nostalgic.

Hackman is wonderful as an inarticulate man tense with the struggle to curb a flaring, mysterious anger.
