I am glad I watched it though, it was a good story and I like that it was based on actual happenings. I don't know if I would re watch it but I am glad I watched it the first time!

While watching Grid Iron Gang I was completely invovled from the very start. This movie makes you realize how good you have it being in a safe home and not having to worry about being killed. This is excatly what they were going for so I give Grid Iron Gang full props.
