There's trouble a-brewin' on the grid-iron as
a professional football players' strike threatens the season in
this winning and incredibly funny flick. Frantic, the Washington
Sentinels owners employ maverick coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman)
to put together a play-able team. Since there are no real players
available, the new Sentinals are an odd-ball bunch of misfits -
including a Welsh soccer player, a sumo wrestler, a few pro body
guards… and the new team leader Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), a
once-promising player haunted by one profoundly disastrous
championship game. As the team rallies together to get even a
semblance of some plays working, the gang must endure the
ever-growing hostilities from the striking pros, racially motivated
in-fighting, and a bar-brawl of epic proportions that leads to jail
time… and the most hilarious in-cell dance number that you have to
see to believe. Even if sports movies aren't your thing, do
yourself a favour and pick up The
Replacements, a winning addition to the canon that
includes such time-honoured masterpieces as The Longest
Yard and Semi-Tough.
