A good dramatization of the sport story

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2014)

The adaptation of the sport story is good. The acting is good, worthy of a class A list of actors like Pitt and Hill. Seymour-Hoffman also did a great job, despite the short in-frame time.
I like the coloring choice for this movie. It helps to maintain the sowed-down and rather dark mood, despite having many shots done about daytime activities.
The pace is built well, quite a fast one for a relatively long story. It helps to convey fittingly a story of an entire season into one movie. The acting of the supporting roles of the athletes are also quite good.
