Documentary review: undefeated Undefeated is a documentary that follows the Manassas tiger's high school football team that had not won a football game in over 50 years that rises from the ashes with a brand new coach that trains them better and treats them like family into what turns into a very victorious football team. This film was not a very good documentary for me because it did not have a single original thought throughout the entire film. This documentaries originality was not very high because of the story itself it is the exact same as almost any other football movie or even in some cases the same as any sport movie ever created starting out with the underdog team that is trained and pushed hard to become one of the greats. Some of the evidence I pulled from this film to make its unoriginality show is problems going on with members of the team between fights and frustration towards each other, and the father figure coach, and even to the drama in the middle of the film that could cause a possible divide in the team. In this documentary I believe that this was real I am not saying it is fake. It would be no different than going to a random high school in the country, giving it a new coach and then seeing how that team performs after the practice and the way the coach pushes them. So do not get me wrong for thinking this is a untrue movie I just do not think that it shows a lot of originality. This documentary had a lot in common with a few other sport based films such as when the game stands tall(2014) and walking on deadfish(2008) which is another good movie about a team that rises out of the ashes of defeat. If you enjoyed this movie I would recommend watching remember the titans (2000) which shows a lot of team building in this movie. I would also recommend more than a game (2009).
