Not all films that get pushed straight to DVD/Blu-ray are bad. Sometimes there’s just no market for it at that time. That’s the case with Touchback. A film about a guy who was on his way to getting a full-ride scholarship from his high school football skills when all of a sudden a terrible football injury takes him out of the game for good. Now as a grown-up with a family of his own and a less than satisfying job, he wakes up young again (as so many films turn back time for another chance) and has an opportunity to do it all differently. But will he? He may never get the family he has and loves again. Touchback will be available on Blu-ray DVD combo September 4th, 2012.
