Gary Fleder's "The Express" tells the story of Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy in 1961. Dennis Quaid co-stars as Ernie's coach. Let's quickly look at what other online critics have to say about the feature ( I will post my review later today):

• Cinematical's Jett Kernion: "'The Express' follows the usual conventions of sports films, which can be satisfying and even comforting if you like the genre."

• Mack Rawden at Cinema Blend: "It’s just a series of brouhahas, tied together by the fact they all involved Ernie Davis."

• LatinoReview's George Roush: "It's a nice drama, but its formula is just like every other inspirational sports movie."

• Brian Orndorf at Collider: "'Express' conquers formula by keeping a close eye on pace and giddy, audience-baiting moments of gridiron triumph."

• Joblo's Chris Bumbray: "It runs just a little over two hours, and perhaps it would behoove the filmmakers to cut out a good 10-15 minutes, as the pace does lag at times."
