This review is quite late but since I did happen to like the movie, I am reviewing this. Basically the story is about a cocky lacrosse player who lost his dad due to an accident while serving for the navy. Since then, Conner (played by Kellen lutz) sort of rebelled and decided to go lone wolf. He moved from his home town to a new one (One I forgot the name of) and joined the lacrosse team. He was disappointed to learn though that the couch of his new school's team did in fact value team sportsmanship, something Conner did not have. Conner has a few breakdowns, breaks the school's trophy case, and gets suspended from school and kicked off the lacrosse team. From there, he gets help from a friend of his father who teaches Conner sportsmanship and team leading through tedious labor. Conner learns the history of lacrosse as well.
Although the movie is enjoyable and somewhat informational (lacrosse was portrayed somewhat wrong in the movie then how it is in real life), it is very predictable for lacrosse fans and oplayers. During the middle, the movie gets boring with all the scenes of Conner finding himself and whatnot. Towards the end though, it does get more enjoyable with the ending game scene that was pretty cool to see. When I say predictable, I mean that in the sense that people who know a lot about lacrosse will most likely figure out how Conner gets back on the team and what would happen in the game scene during the end of the movie. The checking/slashing in the movie was pretty spot on, although the moves made in the movie were a lot less practiced and were made with a lot less precision then a skilled lacrosse player in real life.
Overall, I gave those movie 5/10 stars because like I said, it was enjoyable but very predictable and eventually boring for me. Hope that helped for anyone wondering about the movie, even in 2018
