Everything is going to change. Anyone familiar with the book, The Maze Runner, understands the meaning and importance of this phrase. Everything did change with this adaptation of the popular YA novel by James Dasher. However, it wasn’t horrible.

When the Game Stands Tall – Review
Just as it’s predecessor, Friday Night Lights, Stand Tall is a re telling of actual events about actual people. Embellished to fit the mold of the movie structure which ultimately strips away the importance of what a leader and his gridiron soliders were able to accomplish over a span of six years, one hundred and fifty one wins — no loses. …
