I LAUGHED. I CRIED. IT WAS BETTER THAN CATS IN ARMORED ALUMINIUM WHEELCHAIRS BASHING THE HECK OUT OF EACH OTHER: Murderball is the story of the United States Quad Rugby Team and it’s road to and through the Athens Paralympic Games. It’s been well written-up any number of places by now, but short and sweet this movie has everything you could want in a sports documentary: thrill of victory, agony of defeat, bitter rivalries, compelling characters, overcoming adversity, betrayal, reconciliation, drama, humor, love, hate, campfire girls, disabled veterans and a competition-induced heart attack. It’s even got Ween and Ministry on the Soundtrack. So, please, for Pete's Sake, when you’re done marching with the penguins, get out there and get you some Murderball.
