Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's appropriate that as D.W. Griffith was born in Kentucky that he should act in a short film with the same title. He doesn't move me as an actor, but I do appreciate that this was his baptism of fire into the industry. Failed footballers like good managers in the same way that failed actors make better directors.
