Not a foul ball, but not a home run either.

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2015)

Sport-based dramas, no matter how solid the first 2 acts, always hurtle towards a black hole of schmaltz in the third, and this one is no exception.
Amy Adams does a good job, as expected, and Clint Eastwood does exactly what you want him to do.
Worth a look if there's nothing else on, and there are some excellent moments here and there, but if the schmaltz isn't your thing then there'll be plenty of chances to get up and make a cuppa.
Also, I can't make up my mind about Justin Timberlake. Is he an OK actor or not?
Verdict: One for a long plane journey or if there's nothing else on telly
