In this film a basketball coach goes to teach/coach at his old high school and help out a struggling Richmond Basketball team, disciplining them and teaching them to get better. This film is based off a true story about a man called Coach Carter, played by Samuel L Jackson and it also features a young Channing Tatum. In this film it shows us how much the basketball team grows together, a group of teenaged boys who grew up on the streets as Coach Carter attempts to save their lives from a life on the street and a life in prison. In my opinion there is no bad part in this film but film because i think its completely amazing. Although there isn't a bad part there is a lot of good parts to this movie for example when Coach Carter is about to leave Richmond high, the basketball team decides to go against their parents wishes for having Coach Carter put off the job as coach and persuades Coach Carter to stay, showing how much they care about their coach. This movie is very inspiring as it says that no matter where you come from. no matter who you are, you can make it to your dreams.
