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 unedible 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.

Grade: A

About The Peetimes: As you can imagine, there is a lot of imagery in this movie and it’s all important.

Both Peetimes are pretty good. The second one only has flashes of visions. It won’t hurt to miss.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Him.

Plot
A young athlete descends into a world of terror when he’s invited to train with a legendary champion whose charisma curdles into something darker.
