The Greatest Game Ever Played

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2006)

Such a wonderfully done movie. Rented it due to being a huge Stephen Dillane fan (Welcome to Sarajevo), and was never disappointed. He was superb as ever. Dillane is such a special kind of actor; serene, intense and his face says so much. And the actor who plays the lead, well, he's brilliant. This movie is based on a true story, which makes it even more touching. But either way, it's so well-done by the director, Bill Paxton, that even if you don't like golf, it doesn't matter. The period is so well depicted, the golf scenes interesting and fun to watch and the acting by everyone is so worth the rental price. A keeper. One of those "gentle" films that make seeing a movie an experience so worthwhile. Bravo, bravo on this wonderful film!
