Quad rugby as played by the US team, between 2002 games in Sweden and the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. Young men, most with spinal injuries, play this rough and tumble sport in special chairs, seated gladiators. We get to know several and their families. They talk frankly about their injuries, feelings in public, sex lives, competitiveness, and love of the game. There's also an angry former team member gone north to coach the Canadian team, tough on everyone, including his viola-playing son. We meet a recently injured man, in rehab, at times close to despair, finding possible joy in quad rugby. After Athens, the team meets young men injured in war: the future stars of Team USA.
Leave your thoughts about Murderball.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceIt's one of the best sports documentaries to come along since 1994's Hoop Dreams and is among this still-young year's best films. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekYou thought Lance Armstrong was hell on wheels? Wait until you meet the men from Murderball. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachBracingly honest and ceaselessly compelling documentary. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrMurderball is a paradox: a movie about quadriplegics that insists we look beyond their disability. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIt's one of the most powerful films of the year. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsSimple, brutal, wild and emotionally charged. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanfordtough, touching, exciting and surprisingly hilarious. The men profiled... take competition seriously, talk like jocks and don't shy away from partying or romance. |
| Cinema WriterJay Antania triumph of filmmaking: of structure, character development, and pacing |
| The Film YapNick RogersThere's little room for tears in the testosterone-riddled territory of quadriplegic rugby. "Murderball" spat on that power of the human spirit stuff and rolled along to a kick-ass showcase of not what spinal injury excluded, but what it enabled. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonMurderball is a sports film, an inspirational piece and a portrait of people who face unusual challenges. |
