    The story is unique and engaging enough to transcend the uplifting sports-underdog formula.

    As the team gets in shape, a hot new ringer is brought in and the fallen son redeems himself - and director Steve Rash's movie wins us over.

    Directed by Steve Rash, Crooked Arrows gets points for its glimpses of Native American culture and history - the film's backers include the Onondaga Nation - but too many of these scenes are disappointingly static.

    Disliking this film feels churlish, like rooting for the Yankees to crush the Little League champs. But amiability, and the natural affinity most people have for David over Goliath, can't substitute for skill and imagination.

    One of the lower budget films with an interesting story and a big message. Once again this film highlights the importance of team work and leadership. Worth taking a look at it.… Expand
