    The best way to tell if the Rock is in a good movie: 1. Does the Rock allow himself to get punched in the face? If yes, good movie. This is not foolproof (see PAIN AND GAIN, GRIDIRON GANG which are good but no face punching, or RED ONE, which has face punching but is bad), but it’s the standard.

    "Gridiron Gang” (2006) is a classic U.S. sports inspirational movie about a prison guard (The Rock) who starts to coach juvenile delinquents in football. But it is based on a real story, and pretty well acted, which makes it solid. 🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    On each chair was a a Gridiron Gang towel, and the lady comes in and thanks us for seeing the movie and tells us that we'll need to fill out a survey after the film. But before all that, she has one more guest she wants to introduce. In walks Dwayne Johnson himself. He thanks us for being there...

    ... and a woman with clipboard walks up to us and asks if we'd like to see a free movie. At the time, The Rock was trying to transition over to A Serious Movie Actor and was starring in an upcoming film called "Gridiron Gang". We took the lady up on her free ticket offer and headed to the theater.

    Gridiron Gang (Phil Joanou, 2006; Sony/Columbia Pictures) - 9/10. This movie reminds of Remember the Titans to me.

    Great movie. Love football movies. This one keeps you interested. Too bad they can't win it all though.
