Director
: Thomas Carter
Main Cast
: Samuel L. Jackson, Rob Brown,
Ashanti Not much to say, as Coach Carter is your normal run-of-the-mill sports film: shit team, unorthodox new coach comes in, team not happy with coach’s methods, team and coach solve their problems, team not shit anymore. Everyone’s happy. End of story.
What may set this apart from other similar films though, is Samuel L. Jackson, Jedi Knight Mace Windu himself. Man, when he speaks, everyone else shuts up. Can’t imagine anyone else who can be as effective in that same role. Saying that though, it is more or less the same role that he had in the Collin Farrell-starring SWAT.
At about two hours long, it’s 20 minutes too long. It gets 3 stars out of 5 for Jackson’s performance. Can’t wait to see him wielding a light saber again when the new Star Wars comes out!
