Greater: Directed by David L. Hunt. With Neal McDonough, Leslie Easterbrook, Christopher Severio, Michael Parks. The story of Brandon Burlsworth, possibly the greatest walk-on in the history of college football.

“If you know, going into the movie, that there are strong Christian themes, then I donu0026#39;t think it is too off-putting for someone who is not a Christian. I am a Christian, so my perspective may be different, but I didnu0026#39;t find it to be u0026quot;preachy.u0026quot;nNow, to the movie itself..the story of Brandon Burlsworth is u0026quot;made for movieu0026quot; material, and I think the script does Brandonu0026#39;s story justice. The Farmer character was a great device to help draw out Martyu0026#39;s inner struggle. Neal McDonough just killed it as Marty–I have a new appreciation for his acting chops. Leslie Easterbrook did yeomanu0026#39;s work as the mother. But my biggest problem was with Severiou0026#39;s acting. I want to be kind, but this role was just too big for Chris, and I donu0026#39;t believe he filled the shoes. Heu0026#39;s likable, but thatu0026#39;s just not enough to carry the role…sorry.nBut overall, definitely worth watching.”
