this story seem to have a reasonable budget so i have no idea how it get such a terrible screenplay . there be so many egregious plot problem that i do not know where to begin . another reviewer mention and ` cringe through the entire film and that a fair comment . let just mention a few of the more glaring plot gaff daniel have supposedly suffer some type of serious head injury in the past and yet he play lacrosse for an entire season on a team that never win a game to improve his ` coaching credential . a local mobster ( whose son be the captain of an undefeated collegiate team ) fix the all too predictable match up between the team . ( how could he have think his son team could lose ) the mobster fix the match by kidnap the official and substitute fake official who make blatantly unfair call . the mobster be apparently make book on the game ( who bet on extra collegiate lacrosse . ) the kidnap coach escape when the two goon who have lure them into the mobster limousine stop for gas and both have to go to the men room just a the ref be figure out what go on . no worry though cause when the ref try to call the police on the limo phone they find out that the mobster own the phone company too . i be not sure why the ` championship team play the first half like a bunch of thug . ( do the mobster pay them or something . ) maybe it have something to do with a speech by the mobster son that end up on the cutting room floor . when he tell his teammate at the beginning of the second half ` forget what i say earlier it no problem for the audience since we do not hear this kid make any speech . for some inexplicable reason the ` fake ref stop make unfair call in the second half and the hero team start to catch up . course it might be that his sister be now play . oh and do i mention that the mobster have buy the mortgage on the family store and be throw them out . the mobster do promise not to if daniel throw the game ( be mr. mobster worry that a championship team play nobody aid by his fake official be go to lose . ) i be surprise that i rat this as highly a i do but even with all of the above and many of the actor be likeable and it be nice to see a sport movie about a less know sport for a change .
