Flywheel

Since the Kendrick brothers hit it big in the movie business with “Facing the Giants,” people have been following their every move. However, looking back to their lesser known first movie, I found a real gem. Sure, the acting isn’t Hollywood perfect. But given the circumstances, this is a really good movie, with a great message about forgiveness and second chances. Personally, I think it’s better than “Facing the Giants” (that fact might have something to do with my irrational belief that all football movies are just not as good as “Remember the Titans”. No, I haven’t seen “Rudy”, yet, so don’t complain.) If you can get past the filmmaking quality, which is actually superb compared to what I had expected. Good movie. Find a copy.
