The film is poorly written and directed at the most basic levels.
Variety
Mar 25, 2011
Rating: 2.5/4 -- It scores points for being that rare "faith based film" to show a little edge.
Orlando Sentinel
Mar 23, 2011
Rating: 1.5/4 -- The 5th Quarter confuses sympathy for empathy. This story deserves better than this amateurish production. Full Review

Product Description:

Inspired by the tragic true-life story of high school starting quarterback Luke Abbate, who died as a result of injuries sustained in a reckless driving incident just four days shy of his 16th birthday, director Rick Bieber's earnest docudrama shows how Luke's untimely death motivated his older brother Jon to lead the Wake Forest football team through the most successful season in the school's history, and saved the lives of five people in desperate need of organ transplants.
