Film makes all the right moves
movie review
by Don Strausburger
The problems in steel towns
imve become very popular in re
cent months on the silver screen.
First we were offered Flashdance,
a look at a woman who wants to
leave the steel mills to become a
dancer, and now we have All The
Right Moves, which looks at a
young man attempting to avoid
the steel mills entirely.
AU The Right Moves features
Tom Cruise, returning to the
semen immediately after the teen
hit Risky Business.
Cruise plays Stefan Georgevic,
a high school senior and football
player. He wants to go to college
to become an engineer but knows
he must rely on his football abili
ty to get into college on a
scholarship.
As usual, the team's perfor
mance, is as important in his
scholarship hopes as is his in
dividual performance. His team
loses a very important game to a
rival because of a fumble in the
endzone on the last play of the
game. The coach afterward ac-
cuses the player who fumbled of
being a quitter.
Cruise tells the coach his ac-
cusation is both unfair and incor
rect, and is thrown off the team.
This robs him of any chance to
get a scholarship because he is no

longer playing football and is said
to have an attitude problem. •
The most influential character
in the film is the football coach.
He portrays the high school coach
who longs to become a successful
college coach. Unfortunately, in
his crusade, he ignores the feel
ings of his players and his family.
When he gets his coaching job,
though, he realizes he has been
ignorant and attempts to make
amends.
The title All The Right Moves
is also a perfect description of
how this film was made. The
highlight of the show is its
cinematography. The scenes
throughout are above average at
their worst and are usually
excellent.
It is always a pleasure to watch
a film and not be overcome by its
scenery. The film successfully
shows the "typical" middle class
home which is truly what one
would expect to see.
Another noticeable attribute of
the film is its characters. Ail The
Right Moves offers believable
characters who are easy to
understand and can touch your
emotions at a moment's notice.
Both pain and pleasure are easily
recognized and felt by the
characters and the audience.
In waiting for thp . anticipated
rush of Christmas films, why not
let your anxiety be relieved by the
film AU The Right Moves.
