...there is a little bit too much going on. The film attempts to present the events of the "Black Sox" scandal from the perspective everyone involved when (IMO) it would have been better to focus a little more on the players themselves - I found myself wanting to see more, to understand their side of things a little better.
That said, the cast were excellent, I thought John Cusack in particular was outstanding as Buck Weaver. Of all the players, he was the one I felt most badly for at the end - a geuninely nice guy who didn't betray his friends & paid a high price for it.
Rating: 7/10
