Vincent Papale has never known darker times. It is 1978 and he has lost his job and his wife has just left him. He is a broken man that decides to risk all on a one-in-a-million shot at walking on to his favorite Philadelphia Eagles. A new coach has initiated a stunt to win over the local fans by letting one of their own put a uniform on with the rest of the pros. It is a harder, more adult PG film that you are probably used to in that rating of film, but a great story. It starts off very, very gritty and discouraging, but is worth the ride. Thoroughly enjoyed this film with a very convincing portrayal by Mark Wahlberg.
