Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirectorial debut for actor Dylan Baker.
- GoofsIncorrectly considered a goof: Travis Freeman's jersey number is 36 in the first half of the film, and 63 in the last, but this is due to him making a positional change that requires his number to change to reflect this, as offensive and defensive linemen must wear numbers between 50 and 79)

And 23 BLAST does a pretty good job at that, it does come with a bit of a twist though in as the main football-hero is struck with blindness so I guess that helps to spark a greater interest because it's not exactly a common topic.
The cast are all fine, it has a bit of a TV-movie feel to it but overall yeah a good movie that doesn't get too depressing, in fact it made me laugh a couple times so yeah, it's no REMEMBER THE TITANS or BLIND SIDE but it's well worth seeing.
