Bottom of the 9th

Im gonna call this the Rocky of baseball. Anybody who rates this a 1 or 2 has no patience or no heart. Awesome movie and I hate baseball

This was an okay film to watch at home when there's nothing better to watch. As the title suggests it IS slow burn, knowing nothing about baseball made it interesting though I figure had I loved baseball it wouldn't have done anything for me as there wasn't enough baseball action to be worth the praise. Otherwise it was a fair watch.

An american story about second chance for a baseball player after 17 years in prison as consequence of involuntary murder. Familiar names in cast, decent crafted romance , pretty realistic, indeed, with some indulgence, succes story with some critic moments for hero and drops of humor.

A nice film , more seductive for references and for some suggestions about characters, for their memories about early youth and their generous premises destroyed by a tragic accident and for predactibility fair used.

A baseball story, indeed , but careful to not transform the story only in pretext.

So, pretty nice , good spoons of unrealism and the expected final.

Not a bad film about the mistakes of youth and the regret that follows with the game of baseball playing in the backdrop.

The film feels low budget and the editing of the film is pretty poor but if you ignore that you'll be pleasantly surprised by the overall films message. The film can feel a bit long at times but again that could have been fixed by a better editing process. Joe Manganiello is good in his role. Some really good baseball scenes that will entertain any baseball fan.

Note- If you are a New York Yankees fan, you'll love the imagery and cameos throughout the film.

Also great cameo by Former San Francisco Giants Closer Brian Wilson - Who for some reason is Uncredited in this film.

If you are a baseball fan it's a 0, hands down no questions asked. Nothing from the baseball standpoint is believable, which ruined the movie for me. From a movie standpoint, it's not terrible. Good cliche story, all that. But the baseball parts of the movie ruined the experience.
