A great story with a pretty decent second half. It starts off alright but kind of confusing, but as the movie progressed and the relationship between De Niro and Moriarty characters grow the better it got. Although the acting at times is very mediocre. Moriarty was pretty boring with little to offer. De Niro also just plays a one noted character, it was just odd to see him… not be that great? Despite all this I thought Vincent Gardenia was a standout, he really felt like a manager with some great moments that made the movie pretty enjoyable. Due to Gardenia the dugout and ball club scenes are the strength of this movie. Although the story is great, it’s just very bland and by the books for its execution.
