The main characters are Paul Crewe, played by Adam Sandler and Caretaker
(Chris Rock). A famous quarterback sold a game and caused the disillusion of
millions over the nation, and now he got in another trouble at prison.
Paul Crewe was in the middle of a party in her girlfriend’s house when
she found out he was drunk she dumped him, as he didn’t seem to care, he stole
her luxury car and started a police persecution around the city, when we knew
she was watching through the news channel he stopped on purpose to collide with
the patrols chasing him. He was sent to Allenville for three years, but the man
in charge of that prison in the desert had other plans for him. He needed all
the help possible to make a good football team on the guard’s league. He was
threat by the guard before getting in that office, and he refused the offer,
but he changed his mind when he spent a week in isolation, yeah, a good
counter. He was supposed to make a team and make it work as soon as possible so
they could play against the guards, a great deal to the convicts, because they
wanted to cause all the damage they could.
He earned the respect of the brothers by playing basketball one on one
and losing. He didn’t get special treatment, well, actually he did in a way.
But all went to hell when his best friend Caretaker was murdered by a snitch of
the guards, it was supposed to be him, but his friend went to his cell to leave
a present and decided to turn off the radio.
In the game he was blamed of that murder by the man in charge of
Allenville, and he had to sell that game too in order to avoid rotting in
prison. When he saw the disappointment of his team, he changed his mind and
destroyed the guards in a series of strategies.
Personally, I think this movie has a message for those who think they
can’t mend their mistakes, there is always a second chance waiting for us, but
we need to go the rough way to actually learn. Friends can be a great support
to face that moment, and sometimes we need to sacrifice something to succeed.
Nothing is for free.
