Pepper’s not bad, Jane is OK. He’s certainly got the Mick’s swing down. Nice seeing Candiotti, but I wish we could have seen real footage of a knuckleball rather than a CGI.
Sterile, like a Ron Howard film. Everyone is so perfect and righteous and well-spoken and well-grooomed. The acting sems stale and the dialogue seems stunted. The lighting is always even. No style. Disappointed seeing something like this come from a veteran like Crystal.
The expository introduction of every known factoid about the event at the beginning of every conversation (presumably for the sake of non-fans) was annoying. The film would have been embraced by true fans of the game if it was really made for them.
Dumb bookends, but I guess they were necessary considering that the film was made just after McGwire’s own record.
