The movie “Crooked Arrows” (Directed by Steve Rash) made it’s debut screening at the AMC Theatres in Georgetown this week with it’s producer, Mitchell Peck on hand to talk about how the film came together.

“Crooked Arrows” falls smack into the middle of the feel good sports movie category, think “Mighty Ducks”, “Bend it Like Beckham”, “Hoosiers”, etc. The storyline is familiar, the outcome is predictable but you still can’t help enjoying yourself along the way.

Brandon Routh plays the central character, Joe Logan who returns to his Native American reservation with a mission to modernize his homeland by introducing a casino development deal to the tribal council. But in order to get approval for the deal, Joe must first prove himself to the Tribal Chairman, his father Ben Logan (Gil Birmingham). Joe becomes the coach of a Native American Lacrosse team that competes against better-resourced and better-trained competitors in a prep school tournament. Can Joe get his young team to realize their full potential and take pride in a sport that was started by their ancestors? The “Twilight” crowd will eat this up.

Hollywood generally does not start a trend, it hops on the back of one. With Lacrosse being the fastest growing team sport over the last decade, this movie or a movie like it, was bound to be made.
