Heart of Champions (2021)

Heart of Champions (2021) is a Michael Mailer action-packed film set at an Ivy League college in 1999. A row team is practicing hard and everything on their team and in their lives changes when an army veteran takes over as their head coach. Michael Shannon plays that coach and he is perfect for the part of a touch-talking coach who whips these smart athletes into shape. This college-aged melodrama will inspire and move you and it is welcome into a league of prestigious and heart-warming sports movies. The students and athletes all wind up loving him as he pushes this dysfunctional team to glory. In the end, they learn that loving each other and loving the sport means more than winning, but winning feels great, too. Why not have both? The film stars a lot of young talent like Alexander Ludwig, Alex MacNicoll, Michael Tacconi, and many more. There are even some sexy women like Ash Santos and Lilly Krug for much-needed eye candy. Ash Santos plays Nisha who winds up being star Charles Melton's love interest. The two of them run outside into the common grounds of the campus without their shirts on. She is wearing her underwear, but she does not appear to have a shirt. She covers up her chest with her arms. The two of them keep each other warm as they kiss under the snowfall, but we don't get to see Santos' suck sacks. If only we could get toe the heart of that champion chest!
