I’m probably being generous with my rating but it has a good cast and I like baseball. Still get a kick out of the Coop reveal of them being little league teammates. Otherwise, this movie is pretty far from realistic. Kept thinking about how is he able to get locker room phone numbers, know all the player hangouts, finding their homes ect.

What a bizarre film. The premise is good, though the numbers are laughable compared to today's baseball contracts. $40 million dollars. That's it!?

Gil struck me as an odd person, but his descent escalated too much for my understanding of the character. He did seem to be well connected and resour More

What was a pretty good 3/4, the last act was too ridiculous to take seriously. Still as a whole fine performances from both De Niro and Snipes even if neither were in top form, but at least appeared to be trying instead of phoning it in as both have done in the past decade or so.
