My Response: Disney is bringing yet another mid-century, football-themed movie from that comments on racism. Remember the Titans, anyone?? Well, I do, and I liked it. I'm sure The Express will deliver on all the goods that Disney movies thrive on, and with the talents of Rob Brown and Dennis Quaid, there are definitely worse ways to spend your movie ticket money.
