This rousing film is about a coach/teacher/friend to students of Ridgeview Academy, a school for troubled boys. Greg Townsend, played by Matthew Modine of “Full Metal Jacket,” and the HBO series “Weeds,” had a rough time of it when he was young. His father, believing that he was doing what was best for his son to grow up the strong person he needed to be to make it in life, was abusive. This being the case, Greg is the perfect man to help move these young men through life.
