Safety

Everyone said things like "it's cheesy" or stuff like that, but this movie has a feel good story and was very inspiring. In my book, a 9 is like a ten. I barely give tens but this movie was incredibly great and I recommend you watch the whole movie before you make a decision on it.

'Safety' - very good!

Disney enters the sports drama market for what feels like the billionth time, though in fairness they usually nail it - and do the same with this. They've done many better, e.g. 'The Greatest Game Ever Played' and 'Glory Road', but I very much felt entertained by this.

The cinematography is, truly, excellent - credit to Shane Hurlbut. I also took note of the editing (Terel Gibson), which is particularly neat at the beginning. The plot is compelling and features a lot of heart, it certainly uses the usual Disney/sports biopic beats but there's a lot of goodness in there as well. On this note, it has a decision scene where I half expected Chuck Norris to appear. Iykyk.

I enjoyed the cast. Jay Reeves gives a terrific performance as Ray, while Thaddeus J. Mixson is more than solid as brother Fahmarr. Corinne Foxx (daughter of Jamie), James Badge Dale and, despite only a short appearance, Amanda Warren are also good. Cool, for me anyway, to see 'The Walking Dead' alum IronE Singleton involved.

I'd recommend this, for sure.

I like movies based on real people so I was looking forward to this one. While it had potential, it never really lived up to it. Somehow it never grabbed you like other movies of this type. Look to movies like "Rudy", "Invincible", "Remember the Titans". "We Are Marshall". "Greater" and others before watching this one. Perhaps the writers and directors should have watched them too.

Several have taken pot shots at Clemson regarding the scholarship issue. Please research the issue before commenting. Actually read something before forming an opinion. Isn't there enough quick reaction/comment in our society now? Ask yourself how you would feel if someone said something about you without all the facts.

This is a nice story, plain and simple regarding a strong young man overcoming obstacles in his life. It is inspirational. This film and Clemson University should not be attacked by social media miscreants. Try reading what this wonderful young man said about it himself. Jeez!

A great Good Feeling movies to watch with the kids me and my son loved it
