Express, The
Aroview: Treacle-drenched sports biopic tells the story of Ernie Davis (Brown), a talented African-American football player, and his struggle against prejudice during the civil-rights era.
Davis' (admittedly tragic) story will resonate if you are willing to succumb to every sports-movie cliché in the book, and if that's too big an ask, you can still sit back and enjoy Quaid's intense performance as Davis' coach, which provides the emotional weight underneath the sweeping score, sentimental speeches, and constant nag of the 'underdog vs. the man'.
