Underrated Performance.

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2014)

Generally excellent movie with very good jobs done by all except Ford, whom I believed a little mis-cast, one performance will be lost on most - John C. McGinley's Red Barber was astonishingly spot-on. It was a masterful performance by a veteran actor but Red Barber wasn't the "BACK - BACK - BACK - WAYYYYY BACK!!!!" sort of announcer. He calmly described the scene and only occasionally raised his voice. He was the master of the play-by-play and nobody has done as well since. McGinley perfectly caught his style and tone. Unfortunately it's a performance only a few old-timers will recognize and thus appreciate. Too bad. But if nobody else says it John, fabulous job! Red would be happy.
