Description:
Tom Berenger leads an outstanding cast in this bone-crunching dramatization of legendary college football coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant's debut at Texas A&M in the summer of 1954. The often unnerving story finds Bryant ducking the school's good ol' boy network of rich, influential alumni by spiriting his new team away to a makeshift training base in a tiny town called Junction. There, Bryant runs the equivalent of a POW camp, brutalizing an oversized, underdeveloped bunch of rowdy young men and tormenting those who seek medical attention for cracked spines and deadly heat exhaustion. Berenger delivers a warts-and-all performance as the vulgar, monstrous, yet much-respected Bryant, and the direction by seasoned television vet Mike Robe (Son of the Morning Star) is brisk and almost explosively charged. Whatever one thinks of Bryant's punishing methods, the film does not flinch from telling its powerful tale. --Tom Keogh

- Junction Boys is great
This is a great film. If your a Bama or just a football fan you will love this on. It is all about one of the greatest coaches in football history. A must have for the avad sports fan.

- Football Coach
This is a semi-factual documentary of some brutal pre-season conditioning conducted by Paul "Bear" Bryant in his first year at Texas A & M. I'm a coach and think it's a great what-not-to-do movie. However, the acting isn't too bad and it might appeal to a non sports fan. Should be in every football fan's library.

- Beary Awesome
This movie is really worth watching. It has the movie,Sportcentury of Bear Bryant and interviews of the real people who were there. The movie is somewhat embellished abnd brings back memories of football camp. They believed you don't give players water also. Just remember it is camp and camp never is supposed to be fun. Camp is grulling. Truly the Bear is the best. Six national titles and only one losing season. The only ring he wore was the Junction Boys ring. He truly had such great respect for these guys. A sports film worth owning. Don't forget to buy Monday Night Mayhem.

- Entertaining and I hope Historical
I enjoyed the Junction Boys DVD as I have lived during this time period. My son, who plays HS football now, did not like it. He felt like the camp in Junction was cruel and unusual punishment. From a historical point of view I remember things like this happening during that time in our history. I know coaches did things differently then; I am glad we have grown as humans since then. I also was pleased at how the movie ended. I have read the biography of Paul "Bear" Bryant and feel that the movie did a good job of depicting him as a man and coach of a time past. I was entertained and so it is a good movie in my estimation.
