"I was impressed with this movie. I never thought an independent film's story and plot could be as good as this. A Matter of Honor is amazing.
Glenn Pena's performance is unforgettable, his expressions and commitmet to his character show an amazing thespian-type mastery. Glenn Pena will go down in my books as a great actor, old school actor."
A GREAT LESSON and FINE MOVIE

"I found this independent film surprisingly interesting and very good. The writer used a college rugby team as a backdrop for a story of honor and redemption.
John Bull is a professor of Napoleonic History and the college of St. Cyr's rugby coach. When his old college nemesus returns to campus a series of events are set in place which end up changing not only his life but the lives of his rugby players.
The story cleverly parallels Bull's lectures which outline many of the trials experienced by Napoleon's army as it force marched into Russia in 1812.
If you have a son... I would buy this film and discuss the various aspects of sports, college, male/female relationships... and personal honor... which are portrayed in this fine movie.
