In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Facing the Giants is the third uplifting football movie released this month, although this one may be more faith-based than the others. And therein lies a problem: how can the outcome of the movie be otherwise than imagined since God figures so intrinsically in the plot? Jeff Strickler, writing for the McClatchy newspaper chain puts it this way: "The religious proselytizing in this football movie is about as subtle as a blind-side hit by a 300-pound defensive tackle." And Sean Axmaker of the Seattle-Post Intelligencer follows up with "a film full of praise for God in place of foul language and biblical quotes in place of deeds. It preaches to the converted -- literally."

Good movie. It would have been great if it was a true story.
