Chicago Tribune -
There isn't a bad performance here, but besides Thornton, Luke stands out.

|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
A smart, sharp, stirring adaptation of the H.G. Bissinger best-seller.

|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Thornton, giving a splendid, disciplined performance, seamlessly shapes his coach into a believable man of quality rather than star-size charisma.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The film lets you get caught up in the excitement of this religion and the addictive nature of those stadium lights. Berg and cinematographer Tobias Schliessler get up close to the action, catching the hits and miscues in all their violent urgency.

Dallas Observer -
The movie works because Berg never forgets to keep his heart in the game and not just his head.

Friday Night Lights (2004)
A small, turbulent town in Texas obsesses over their high school football team to an unhealthy degree. When the star tailback, Boobie Miles, is seriously injured during the first game of the season, all hope is lost, and the town's dormant social problems begin to flare up. It is left to the inspiring abilities of new coach Gary Gaines to instill in the other team members -- and, by proxy, the town itself -- a sense of self-respect and honor.
