**Never bet against Kevin Costner!** I’m not typically a sports movie fan, but this movie surprised me! I shouldn’t have been with a cast of this caliber and Ivan Reitman directing. Costner, Garner, and Boseman bring heart to this story in a way that makes the payoff at the end of the film all th ... e more satisfying.
