A smart, fun movie with a "super" cast.

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2019)

This is not a football movie. This IS a movie about life, love, regrets, and redemption. It plays against the backdrop of the NFL, but is the story of a man trying to do the right thing on many levels. The movie is shot beautifully, uses production values well, making it slick and quick moving.
Them moving to the cast; The Black Panther, Electra, the father of Gwen Stacy, and the man who raised Superman. So many recognizable and respected people just abound. A film where a perfect Dennis Leary is nearly forgotten means there must be a lot else going on.
And for the record, Kevin Costner is a treasure. If there need be evidence; I could say Untouchables, Silverado, For Love of the Game. I would then bring up his own masterpiece, Dances With Wolves. My heart would then send forth Bull Durham, maybe his best work. Of course, saving the best for last, Field of Dreams must be regarded as a stunning achievement in the medium. How many legendary scenes can one movie contain? It reminds one of the The Dark Knight, which had so many transcendent times that blow all other works away.
