Nothing much that makes it stand out besides it having Clint Eastwood in it

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2013)

Yeah, it has Clint Eastwood in it in the trailer so I thought he directed this movie as well. But he is not in the director seat this time but is the main protagonist in this. It's a watchable movie but far from being great as Clint Eastwood's past movie or the one's he directed. I can't really think of anything that remotely made this movie stand out all that much besides it having Clint Eastwood in it. The movie is about recruiting baseball players and the relationship between other characters. But it doesn't seem to focus on baseball all that much or how the recruiting process works and when it came to the character relationship development. It's done in a very cliché and generic manner and is easily forgettable. Justin Timberlake's character didn't even have to be in this movie. His character didn't really add anything to the movie nor take away anything. I didn't like how they incorporate how a person's brain and heart can beat any calculations from a machine kinda deal. When it comes to these types of movies I recommend "Moneyball" over this. This one just seemed a bit too generic, cliché even when it came to the acting and dialogues and drags at times.
5.8/10
