- DirectorSteven SoderberghStarsAndré HollandMelvin GreggEddie TavaresDuring a pro basketball lockout, a sports agent pitches a rookie basketball client on an intriguing and controversial business proposition.My Rating - 7.5/10.
A sports agent challenging the game that is controlling the game for the game. This Steven Soderbergh movie is a look into the game played around basketball. I enjoyed the movie even though I didn't get the conversations in the beginning cause of the basketball terms thrown around. But, the character of Ray Burke and the dialogues kept me hooked. I really enjoyed the exchanges between characters and they uplifted the simple plot of the movie.
The movie was shot on an iPhone just like his previous movie Unsane (2018). The camera angle kept changing throughout every single conversation, especially in the first one that takes place in the beginning. I found it odd at first but got used to it. André Holland's acting is good and rest are fine too. There is no score in the movie apart from a few songs. The pacing is good, long cuts are used. An overlooked and underrated movie which should be watched. - DirectorRobert RodriguezStarsRosa SalazarChristoph WaltzJennifer ConnellyA deactivated cyborg's revived, but can't remember anything of her past and goes on a quest to find out who she is.My Rating - 7/10.
