Movie Review: "Murderball" (2005)


This short (85 minutes) documentary follows the US men's quadriplegic wheelchair rugby team from the 2002 world championships to the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The guys on the team are a bunch of hard-nosed and gritty SOBs, and their friends and family members live and die with every little victory they achieve both on and off the court. This flick is the real deal: authentic and human, while reminding you that guys in wheelchairs like to drink, get laid, and win at the game of life, just like everyone else does - except without excuses.

I strongly recommend "Murderball".

Overall rating: 9/10
