Bottom of the 9th

The part that shows the kid that died falling down and hitting his head on the curb..... He hit the back of his head/neck, but it later shows the front/top of his head bleeding. Huh? Also, what kind of ending is this? He hit a ball during a game and got a home run, winning the game for his team. Great. What about a conclusion to everything else that happened on the movie? Seems like the script was being rushed to complete. Overall not bad besides these two annoyances I mentioned.

If you have some respect for the game, don't watch this movie. Bad acting. The scenes playing baseball are unrealistic and cheap. Player's attitude doesn't comes even close to reality. It's just another soap opera movie with the typical sad song and the dramatic stroll

I'm an avid sports and movie fan. But rarely am I impressed when the two are combined. I guess it's because I know and understand sports that movies about them always miss the mark. Another thing about this one was why wasn't his reason for being imprissoned not touched on more? I mean why not explain more about the circumstances? He pushed a guy who asked for it and the hit his head on a curb. But the storyline never really defends him.

This is a story about redemption, love and regaining belief in ones self after making a tragic mistake. A lot of heart and meaning in this film!

I really like Sofia in and out of movies whenever I happen to see her, but she couldn't even save this movie for me. I wouldn't have known by the performance that they are actually married (thanks to reading another review lol). If you want to know what this film is like, go to a bar and order a drink with a vulgar name...you won't know what the hell is in it.

Whoever told Sofia and Joe they could act are obviously kidding themselves or outright lying. The movie is about a man who goes to murder for an accidental death. After being paroled he returns to his old neighborhood and the story then falls into a bunch of cliches. To sum this up nothing in this movie is surprising as you can predict everything that will happen from him trying to help the young troubled kid to him getting his shot at redemption himself. If you are up late at night and can't sleep this movie will be for you. Better than any sleeping pill and guaranteed not addictive.

To think Hollywood is increasingly making direct to video movies still using A name TV talent is horrible. This is a cheap made for tv film. Its not a real film. It was barely in any theatres and its out already on video the same day. I will say it was ok for a few minutes in the beginning but then it just went flat and down hill. Within 20 minutes I would have turned it off but I kept watching to see how bad it could be and it was bad. Sofia has a small part which seems like a favor to her husband who is not a theatrical star. Sofia is promoting it all over town and on various tv shows but even with all her fans its dead. Maybe an international release could get some fans in Asia but truthfully its aweful. No its not a baseball movie nor is it a love tale. Its a film that really more a tv show. Maybe they should have made this for tv.

My husband and I love sports movies. This is my first review because I was shocked by the low rating. We both loved this movie. It was slow at times but never boring. A very good, clean movie that told a good story. We only rewatch certain movies every year and this will be in our rotation. My husband loves baseball and I hate baseball but we both stayed up too late to watch the rest! This has 4.9 IMDB rating Super good!!!

Im gonna call this the Rocky of baseball. Anybody who rates this a 1 or 2 has no patience or no heart. Awesome movie and I hate baseball
