as good as dances with wolves. EXCELLENT acting.

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2000)

despite what all the people who hate Costner say about the film, For Love of the Game is probably one of the best baseball movies ever made. i'm not saying this because i'm a huge Costner fan (because i'm not really) but i realize great acting when i see it. Both Costner and Preston deliver excellent performances and no one who recognizes good acting when they see it can honestly say otherwise. In this movie Costner proves all the hateful critics wrong by giving one of his best performances in years. This movie ranks right up there with Dances with Wolves and The Postman.
