Review of The Slaughter Rule (2002) by Jacob S — 30 Sep 2011

This movie might be off putting to some based on how well you can handle the subject material. I liked this movie a lot. Sure this isn't the greatest football movie but I think it's up there. The performances were great but the two that stuck out the most were Gosling and Morse.

They both fit perfectly with their characters and they were just terrific. The characters themselves were great especially Gosling's character you can't help but to actually care for him. The music in this movie was great and set a nice tone.

I can't help but to wonder, didn't the kids have school? You hardly ever see Gosling and his friend in school. Some of my questions were not answered in the end but, the ending to this movie was great and really well done.

I enjoyed this movie a lot, it was great despite all my questions not being answered 3.5/4 stars. I'm not in the mood to type a well thought out review but this movie is great, Ryan Gosling is just terrific in this film and he's a terrific actor overall.
