What a disappointment. Ron Shelton has written and directed some great movies but this isn't one of them. The action sequences make basketball seem pretty exciting and the on-court dialogue is fast, snappy and funny. Unfortunately, off-court the main characters are generally irritating. I had very little sympathy or respect for the characters played by Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez. Unltimately I couldn't care less what happened to them so my attention wandered towards the end of the movie. There is a sub-plot involving debt-collecting gangsters which is unconvincing. The performances from Wesley Snipes and Tyra Ferrell are excellent (I wish Tyra would do more.)
