Blu-ray Review: Gridiron Gang: Special Edition



Mill Creek Entertainment; Amazon
Since it is "football Sunday," I thought it would be the perfect time for me to review the Gridiron Gang: Special Edition Blu-ray (PG-13; 125 minutes; $14.98), which was released a few months ago by Mill Creek Entertainment.

Directed by Phil Joanou, the 2006 drama told the true story of the Kilpatrick Mustangs 1990 football season. Dwayne Johnson plays juvenile probation officer Sean Porter who works at the Kilpatrick Detention Center in Los Angeles. He created a football team called the Kilpatrick Mustangs to help the troubled kids at the center learn about responsibility, discipline, and team work.

Getting the kids to work together isn't an easy thing to accomplish as there's a mixture of former gang members on the team who don't trust each other. Thanks to Porter's leadership, he leads the team to the playoffs.

Special Features include:
  • The Original 1992 Emmy Award Winning Documentary Gridiron Gang
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Commentary with the Writer and Director
  • Gridiron Gang Football Training
  • Phil Joanou Profile
  • The Rock Takes the Field
