Costner is 3-for-3

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 1999)

Costner has been in two other baseball films, "Field of Dreams" and "Bull Durham" both of which were minor masterpieces. "For Love of the Game" is no different.
I'll be honest, it takes a lot for me to like a sports drama. But I thought this was one of the finest films of the year. Costner delivers a performance of near-unparalleled dignity, honesty and believability, and Kelly Preston delivers a touching and enjoyable performance as Jane.
I was moved by this film, though I did not expect to be. I thought it was truly fantastic and a definitley not to be missed. It would appear that Kevin Costner can't go wrong with baseball.
