Amazon.com: Based on the perennial nonfiction bestseller by H.G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights looks at high school football in the harsh light of reality, finding heart and hardness while stirring our emotions. Actor-director Peter Berg (Very Bad Things, The Rundown) is Bissinger's cousin; he knows the material well, and understands how an obsession with winning turns high school kids into somber, over-pressured gladiators--expendable soldiers in a community war against shame and obscurity. The fact-based story focuses on the 1988 football season of Odessa-Permian high school in West Texas, and as a fast-paced sports movie, Berg delivers the goods with a rousing, frenetically styled crowd-pleaser. But there's darkness in this tale of weary underdogs, including an abusive father (well-played by country music star Tim McGraw), threatening townsfolk, an injured star running back (Derek Luke), a tormented quarterback (Lucas Black), and the melancholy coach (Billy Bob Thornton) who takes his team to the finals. Berg's film could use less flashy cutting and more drama to support its gridiron intensity, but Friday Night Lights offers a refreshing alternative to the conventional sports movie, and makes a perfect triple-feature with the equally exciting documentaries Go Tigers! and The Last Game. --Jeff Shannon
Great on all counts! Very good story telling. A new variation of a story applied to the actual events of the unsolved Jack the Ripper murders. Great directing & excellent acting. Depp is not one of my favorite actors but this was a welcome surprise.
The delivery of High Def via Blu-ray was excellent!
Amazon's delivery of this product was excellent!
Abusing Opium has Never Been More Sexier!!! This is one of my favorite films from Johnny Depp, I've never seen him act so well "normal" in a film. Heather Graham was absolutely stunning in this film, nothing compares to that gorgeous red hair of hers. I couldn't believe how excellent this movie was, with the twists and turns I should have guessed who the ripper was, and felt pretty embarressed when I couldn't figure it out until the end.
Most of the time my mouth was wide open, because of the intensity I got from the lewdness of it all. What did I expect though it was a movie about a serial killer? All the women in the film, really set the profile for a group of prostitutes or "unfortunates". I'm very glad I didn't live on the east end of Britain in the 1880's. I always believed that men killed or raped woman, in order to feel more powerful. I thought that since we have had so many more killings now that it was possibly because American woman have gained more rights, and this has caused men to lose the superiority mind-set they once had so many years ago. Now from watching this movie, and reading more history on the actual Jack the ripper killer or killers, I have come to the conclusion that maybe there is more motive to the brutally savage-minded killers than just that.
Otherwise great movie, great buy.
From Hell Johnny Depp comes through again as a detective for the London police. His character is multi-faceted and fascinating. The investigations into the murders of Jack the Ripper, lead us to believe we know the actual murderer for a change. That isn't to say it is clear cut at first, no pun intended, but his following the case gives us an in depth look at police work for the times and conditions in hospitals are very graphic. This is not for young children. This is an adult movie in the respect of the horrible way women are murdered. Although I enjoyed this movie immensely, I personally would not buy it because of the dark and graphic nature of it. It shows us what truly must be Hell. Excellent quality DVD with fair replayability. If you enjoyed this, catch "Sleepy Hollow" and "Time After Time". - C. Luster
A Nice Twist Overall a nice twist on the tale of Jack the Ripper. The film went in depth with what could have been the motive behind the 1888 slayings in Whitechapel. We will never know the true story, but From Hell delivers an explanation the plays well as both an enjoyable film and a stab at one of history's most notorious figures. Brutal, sad, and thought provoking. A definite recommendation!
GREAT JACK THE RIPPER STORY!!! A new twist on the Jack the Ripper story. Johnny Depp gives one of his greatest performances ever!
