Enjoyed this one for what it is-- a little romantic getaway. Everything wraps up a little too neatly for my liking, but that finale sure hits a sweet spot.

Lionsgate 4K release

Come for the epic battles, stay for the romance. Day-Lewis sells this one through and through. Also, the last fifteen minutes are pure cinema. It's a high worth chasing.

Damn. That’s a good sports movie. Captures the spirit and fever of high school basketball like few others. R.I.P Gene Hackman.

Both leads are obnoxious. Even at 90 minutes I found it to be a tough sit.

(And I loathe (500) Days of Summer, so a similar conceit was never going to work for me.) Can see how this could’ve influenced that movie and High Fidelity.

It’s absolutely not a good movie, but that last fifteen minutes is something else. Stupid fun for sure.

When a gesture can say more words than anything else.

Just an absolute joy. Exactly what a creature feature should strive for.

As an American, sitting in the theater for a Robbie Williams monkey biopic, I am flabbergasted that Millennium does not appear in this movie.

What are we even doing here?!

Watched on Monday January 13, 2025.

Undoubtedly one of the best acting performances ever from Bardem. So much of the success of this movie is this unhinged villain that truly feels like a wildcard. Haven’t seen this in a long time, but it still felt fresh. I was captivated from beginning to end.
