5 Thoughts On The Express

1. I always thought making a good uplifting, overcoming the odds sports film was simple. I guess not.
2. Overall the film was decent, but never attempts to make the audience care about it's main subjects.
3. How Rob Brown has had several big Hollywood roles, I will never know.
4. Considering the fact Ernie Davis dies right after college (No spoiler warning. Know your history silly.) kind of works against him as a potential protagonist.
5. NOTICE. Re: I get it, white people used to not like black people. Can we please focus on the story now?
