Based on the life story of Brandon Burlstworth, one of the most well-known players of the college football, who is always dreaming of playing in Arkansas Razorbacks team, but he has frustrated by knowing that he does not fit for Division, the thing that affects badly on him, but through his strong determination, manages to achieve his dream.
While Brandon's own faith never wavers, the film cross-examines Christian pieties and even faith itself to a greater degree than any other faith-based film I can think of.
Had the filmmakers not repeatedly returned to the "doubting Thomases" and instead just played the film out chronologically, it would have had more of an emotional impact. (Full Content Review for Parents - Profanity, Bullying, etc. - also Available)
As a basic football film Greater is perfectly adequate, but it could have truly lived up to its title with stronger convictions on its faith component.
