Additional InformationBased on the best-selling book by H.G. Bissinger, Peter Berg's gritty, powerful drama tells the true story of a small Texas town in which high school football is the only thing that matters. Set in 1988, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS opens on the first day of practice for the Odessa Permian Panthers. Under intense pressure and scrutiny from the town's residents, head coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton) nonetheless maintains a calm façade. His star player, Boobie Miles (Derek Luke), is a running back with unlimited potential, but the rest of the team is undersized and lacking killer instinct--especially quarterback Mike Winchell (Lucas Black), who's shy and short of confidence, and Don Billingsley (Garrett Hedlund), who is tormented by his father (Tim McGraw) for being too soft. When Boobie goes down on opening day with a career threatening knee injury, the season appears to be over. But Gaines won't give up, and neither will the rest of his feisty players. Billy Bob Thornton delivers another outstanding performance in Berg's impassioned drama, as do the film's young actors (most notably Luke, Black, and Hedlund). Tobias Schliessler's fuel-injected photography and Explosion in the Sky's electrifying score make FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS an even more spectacular movie-going experience.
ReviewsEmpire - The best sports movie for years., The Sun - This is a must-see sporting classic..., The Observer - Exciting, emotional, edge-of-the-seat drama.

Good, could have been great...
I've come to this film after having seen the TV series, then reading the original book and finally watching the film. As entertainment, it's fine, but having read the book, I think this might have been better suited to being more of a documentary. There are definite nods to details from the book, but the Hollywood wand has removed many of the unpleasant aspects of the story, so several major themes are left out of the film. The extras on the DVD restore some depth and background back into the film, and one of the deleted scenes, which was a huge part of the book, really should have made the main movie. The casting was very good, with a few of the cast looking spookily like their real-life counterparts - some (at least two) of the cast are also in the TV series. If I sound down on the film, that wasn't my intention - it's a good film, it's just not really what I was expecting. The book and the TV series really get across how importantly high-school football is regarded in Texas and the hysteria around it, but neither tell their story in 2 hours.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
