- Plot: A former HS basketball phenom, struggling with alcoholism, is offered a coaching job at his alma mater. As the team starts to win, he may have a reason to confront his old demons. But will it be enough to set him on the road to redemption?
- Affleck/O’Connor team up for their second film together (The Accountant).
- “We can’t change the past Jack, but we can choose how we move forward.”
- The story of overcoming our past is not something we haven’t seen on the big screen but the way a story is told will show us if this film will stand out from the rest. We see Jack who is overcoming his own past here while trying to elevate the ones around him. It looks raw, emotional and powerful.
- Affleck can act and this role looks like it suits him perfect. I think this project hits at home for him due to his own issues with alcohol. He shows some true passion in the trailer in which you can get behind.
- Overall: Ben is one of my favorite actors in Hollywood, and this film looks great. I am a sucker for a redemption story and this one looks like it might be a tear-jerker.
Family, Faith, Film and Football.
