Review: "Breaking the Press" DVD
Film And DVD Reviews by Phil Boatwright
FILM SYNOPSIS: Joe Conahey (Drew Waters, Friday Night Lights), is a small-town high school basketball coach whose Christian faith is tested by an unsuccessful season and the intense pressure that results. The family’s two star sons – the older, diligently hardworking brother Matt (Chad Halbrook, Brotherhood) and the younger, naturally-gifted Josh (Tom Maden, According To Jim) – are separated when Josh selfishly transfers to a powerhouse school hundreds of miles away. His previous team’s top player, Josh finds difficulty adjusting to the big-city program, tempted as he is by girls, alcohol and stardom – and is subsequently expelled. Only through the power of prayer and forgiveness can the troubled “Prodigal Son” make his way back into the arms of his loving father and find redemption for his family and his team.

It's a hot summer day in Midwest Texas, and in the middle of a small river that runs through the town of Utopia [yep, it's a real town], Robert Duvall and Lucas Black are working hard to get a fly-fishing scene just right for their movie SEVEN DAYS IN UTOPIA. The air is still, the trees are tall and green, and no fish are jumping into their boat.

With the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) serving as a symbolic setting for WARRIOR, this emotionally intense drama from Lionsgate becomes a striking portrait of the healing power of forgiveness. The story focuses on the lives of a recovering alcoholic (Nick Nolte) and his two estranged sons (Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton). They are a wounded, alienated family brought together by financial necessity, only to discover their true need – to find salvation through pardon.

Verbose in his faith, gentle in demeanor, David Cook is an inspirational speaker, a renowned sports psychologist, and the screenwriter of SEVEN DAYS IN UTOPIA, starring Robert Duvall and Lucas Black.

In both his best-selling book and the film, which opens on September 2, you can see that David Cook’s gift is to guide people from success to significance.
