Predictable, yet not bad for one evening

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Million Dollar Arm" (2014)is a very predictable, yet good looking movie. It's actually constructed very smoothly, on the running time at almost 2 hours it doesn't drag a bit. Acting is OK, script is nice and directing is very solid. Yet i will consider this movie as a disappointment because it's soooo predictable, based more on a movie formula than on actual story itself. After 15 min you will know exactly what is going to happen, how and who will end up with who at the end. Did i say that this picture is predictable? Overalall, 7/10 for "Million Dollar Arm" - it's a very good looking good feel type of the film (Disney - no wonder), yet it's so predictable, so formulaic that if you have ever saw couple of movies about sport, it means you already saw this picture - it's nice for one evening, but don't expect anything more.
