The plot: Inspired by a real story, a determined high school senior strives to be a wrestler one last time despite having cerebral palsy and goes to extreme lengths, crushing obstacles and inspiring others along his journey to prove his abilities.
The Triumph Movie was great.
Pros: I give this film credit for having a lead that has cerebral palsy proving that anything is possible and can be overcome even if you have a disability. RJ Mitte was extraordinary as a man who is up against impossible odds. His friendship with the Colton Haynes character seemed genuine & The story telling was very good and seemed to me to be true to life.
Cons: Some people might be disturbed seeing someone dealing with palsy being treated the way he is and there were loads of clichés from other movies, i.e.: teen romance, high school drama.
The Casts:
- RJ Mitte as Mike
- Colton Haynes as Jeff
- Johnathon Schaech as Doug
- Grace Victoria Cox as Patty
- Terrence Howard as Coach Cutting
I highly recommend watching this film also to those who got a Sky Q Box.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
