Verdict: Sure, 'Glory Road' consists of the usual sports movie cliches, but first-time director James Gartner executes them with terrific assurance in this breathtaking, edge-of-the-seat film. Also know that this slick enterprise is buoyed by a Motown-flavored '60s soundtrack and has an ultra-appealing ensemble cast toboot! Even knowing the outcome, sports fans will cheer the lightning-fast, dynamically edited on-court action. That, in truth, is only slowed by a few lumbering, heavy handed scenes. Inspirational and thrilling, appealing and entertaining, 'Glory Road' is them all.
