Movie Review - Him
If football is a rich stew of action and drama, then this movie is what you get when you accidentally leave the stew simmering on the burner overnight and wake up to an inedible sludge of formerly delicious sustenance.
I can't say that I enjoyed this movie. I think appreciate is a better word for it. Kudos to the creators for shining an artistic light under the rug and exploring the darker side of what it's like to be in the game.
More than anything, I want to know what do current football players say about this movie. How close does this movie come to projecting the inner life of football players? I'll wait until next week and see if I can find any quotes and add them here.
