Gridiron Gang

The Gridiron Gang is a film about a bunch of teenage boys that are sentenced to a correction center for doing crime in the streets.  The movie start Dwayne Johnson who is a perfect fit for the movie because he played football at the University of Miami (FL).  He is a very intense man and his character is too because he is dealing with criminals with little to no parental guidance.  Willie Weathers is the main character in the movie.  His cousin is killed in a drive by shooting and he losses it when he finds out.  Another guy that is in the correction center is from three blocks away and from the same street that killed Willie Weathers cousin.  They refer to themselves as 88's and 85's throughout the entire movie.  The two are constantly getting in fights because their two gangs that they come from are constantly killing each other.  Dwayne Johnson decides to make a football team to let them release some of their violence, but most importantly teach them some life lessons.  At the beginning the team is terrible, but then at the end of the movie they all come together and are one unit.  This movie is based on a true story and seeing some of the interviews of the real people at the end of the movie gave me chills.  I would recommend this film to anyone that has not seen it because it is a good work of art with good actors that teaches life lessons that everyone can benefit from.
