In Gridiron Gang, "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson once again displays far more cinematic charisma than one could expect from a former professional wrestler. I personally like the acting from Dwayne Johnson. He put his all in every performance. Sean Porter (Johnson, Be Cool), a football player turned juvenile detention counselor, wrestles with a seemingly insolvable problem: The vast majority of young men who leave detention fall right back into crime. Seeking for a way to solve this problem, Sean Porter gives these not-yet-hardened kids a taste of self-esteem and discipline. Porter persuades his superiors to let him teach the kids football--and then take on high school teams.
Though based on a true story, Gridiron Gang is pure underdogs-overcome-adversity formula. A formula is not necessarily a bad thing; when executed with skill and commitment, fulfilling a classic story mechanism can be perfectly satisfying, and Gridiron Gang qualifies. But it's Johnson who carries it through, demonstrating--in the most unlikely of roles--a surprisingly gentle touch. Johnson manages to be manly without overbearing machismo, earning not only respect but empathy.
