A college football coach is told by his bosses that unless they do better this season it could be his last. To bolster the team he recruits a talented tail back. A female student is assigned to help him assimilate with college life and that includes doing his studies because he spent his whole life just playing football. And he finds himself attracted to her and she already has a boyfriend who is also on the team but he might be more concern about losing his position than losing her to him. And the coach has to deal with his other players' situations like the team's quarterback who deals with his father being distant by drinking and it eventually gets him in trouble. And one of the team's defensive players is obviously using steroids but passes the drug tests.
Leave your thoughts about The Program.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBy the film's end, I found myself simultaneously hoping that ESU would win its big game, and that the school would pull the plug on its football program. I guess that's how I was supposed to feel. |
| Total FilmAndrew LowryThis fearless reconstruction drives home the dark lie that Lance Armstrong lived – it’s just a pity it doesn’t dig a little deeper. |
| EmpireNev PierceThe inside track on one of sport’s biggest scandals, nimbly shot and sharply scripted, powered by an outstanding performance from Ben Foster and the quiet integrity of Chris O’Dowd. |
| Time Out LondonDave CalhounThe Program offers no obvious new revelations and Armstrong remains elusive – but it has an unsettling air that carries us through its more pedestrian patches. |
| The GuardianCatherine ShoardIt’s a fluid and nippy telling of a tale that still seems strangely urgent. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe Program wisely hangs on Foster’s fierce performance, transforming himself into Lance. |
| Boston GlobeMichael SaundersJames Caan is underused as the crusty coach who needs a championship season, but he is supported by good turns from the highly angst-ridden quarterback (Craig Sheffer) and the straight-from-the-streets rookie running back (Omar Epps). |
| The Film StageJared MobarakDespite my enjoyment in this turning of the tables to focus on our being duped rather than his being found out, The Program has its failures. |
| New York PostSara StewartIt’s basically a narrative spin on Alex Gibney’s 2013 documentary “The Armstrong Lie,” only with less cycling footage. This is a plus for those of us easily bored by such things (so many interchangeable mountain passes and neon jerseys!), but there isn’t a ton of new material here. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloIt’s a rote hatchet job, rehashing information that virtually everyone already knows, but at least it facilitates one of the year’s oddest and gutsiest performances. |
