Invincible (2006)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

One of the most touching football movies I've ever watched in my life Mark Wahlberg at his best playing a bartender who gets to try out for the Philadelphia Eagles and by all luck somehow makes the team and fights his way in you will not find the more inspiring movie than this one

I liked it and I watched it right after my favorite NFL team lost their home opener of this year (2017). Ironic for me to end up watching a movie about the NFL after I decided to leave the NFL for good due to my team's inability to remain true to themselves and me. Goodbye NFL....not loyal to me, not loyal to you...reap what you sow!

I like Mark Wahlberg in some movies, others I think he is just okay. In this one, I thought he was just great. he plays a truly likable former high school football player (who never played in college), but still hits the "gridiron" in pick up games in South Philly in the late 1970s. He's lost his job as a high school teacher and his wife left him, leaving a note that he will never go anywhere in life. Well, things change rather quickly when Dick Vermil (played strongly by Greg Kinear) takes over for the desperate, losing Philadelphia Eagles. Vermil decides to give walk-on tryouts to Philadelphia natives, as a publicity stunt. One person gets called to camp, and that's Wahlberg's character. This is a definite inspirational story, which is based on a true story, where the guy actually makes the team. Wahlberg's character has speed, intensity, passion, and will, and he becomes a special teams expert, playing 3 or 4 years in the NFL. Only downside,as I have learned in many of these "biographical" movies, is that while it was close to the truth, there were many things in the movie that turned out to be just plain false. but if you're watching Invincible as just a movie, and not a biography, then this is great one, which didn't get the critical reviews it deserves.

in my opinion it was generally likable and very easy to follow. The actors did a great job portraying these people as if i actually knew them. some people would say its just another football movie, when its not. Its a amazing story of a man who wanted a dream and did everything in his power to achieve. sorry people no spoilers. but this movie i could watch over and over again. its not heart wrenching but rather heart warming and its a great movie to let the kids watch. it will teach them no dream is out of reach. but honestly its got a pretty guessable ending, and is really sometimes just out there. It may have some flaws but what movie doesn't.
