I will start by saying that Ben Affleck drinks a lot of alcohol in this movie--mostly beers (a lot of them in the shower) and sometimes a little vodka in his coffee cup.
Now, let's get to the review. I went into this movie thinking it would be another solid sports movie, maybe with the feel of a Coach Carter or a Glory Road, but my oh oh my was I wrong. Yes, basketball is the backdrop of this film, but the story of loss, alcoholism and recovery are at the forefront of ' The Way Back.'
The movie is not based on a true story, but it pulls largely from the real life story of Ben Affleck who has struggled with alcohol for years and found himself in a rehab facility just before this movie started filming. A functioning alcoholic that tries to make it through each day without completely losing it, he eventually gets the head coaching gig at his old school,where he was the start player, and slowly starts to turn his life around but not without a few hiccups along the way.
This film showcases some of Affleck's best acting in his storied carried, right up there with the likes of Argo and the Town, and it was easy to see that he put everything into this role...unlike Justice League.
The Way Back has something for everyone even if you're not a sports fan. But if you're not careful tears will sneak up on you when you least expect them.
It was great to see Affleck back and hopefully this is the beginning of another solid run of films for him.
Special shout out to Glenn Gulia (Matthew Glave) who played the trivial head coach.
