Looks like an actor trying to be a pitcher. Throws like he's never picked up a baseball let alone pitched. - @Wednesday, October 31, 2018 2:59 AM

Man I love Ethan Hawk.. he’s so far underrated like Jake Gyllenhaal. They both deserve their oscar with James Mcavoy... - @Wednesday, March 28, 2018 3:29 AM

I think Ethan will and should get awarded with an Oscar for this performance. Amazing. But Johnny Simmons is incredible in this movie. The character that he portrays is really dark and sad on the inside, and he shows that very efficiently. Amazing acting overall. - @Friday, September 2, 2016 8:30 PM

They do talk a lot don't they? - @Friday, September 2, 2016 8:08 PM

The scenes where he throws a pitch are purposely slowed down, to heighten your attention for his technique. Example: Babe Ruth with John Goodman, slowed down to the crack of his bat against the ball!! Showing his power. Then speeds back up - @Friday, September 2, 2016 7:28 PM

Would you guys like to see Noah syndergaard play the role because how fast the actor throws is the most important part of the movie - @Wednesday, August 10, 2016 2:07 AM

Great acting from Ethan Hawke in this movie. Supporting Oscar worthy, possibly. But the movie itself had no climax - It just ended mid scene, and not even a good scene. Seemed like even the director got tired of it, and just said CUT, THATS A WRAP. Its seriously just ended in the middle of nowhere, with nothing resolved. Other than Hawke's performance as an abusive father, this movie is a waste of time. - @Sunday, July 24, 2016 2:58 AM

spitfire4sergi

Sadly 90% of the people who are gonna see this play or have played baseball.. And 100% of those people are gonna say to themselves 'pretty sure this actor never threw a baseball before.' At least they were nice enough to make the ball on that '98 mph' throw CGI - @Monday, July 18, 2016 2:53 PM

This film seems interesting, it's very dividing. It has a 5.3 IMDB rating and an 87% Critics score on RT. - @Saturday, July 2, 2016 1:57 AM

Now this shit looks good. - @Friday, July 1, 2016 7:24 AM

After seeing it, Johnny Simmons definitely needs more attention and work. Ethan Hawke was great you could tell from the trailer here he was gonna be. Giamatti was perfect. It should've been longer though because it sorta felt empty because you get interested then boom it's over. Kinda a mixed bag but mainly really powerful and intriguing. - @Monday, June 27, 2016 10:04 AM

Johnny Simmons looks just like a young Tim Robbins - @Monday, June 27, 2016 12:52 AM

A brilliant film. Poignant and hit my door in many ways..Really strong. These other stupid movies out today, explosions, horrible violence which people laugh at and have become numb to..and this is the film given low ratings?! ..as always... - @Monday, June 27, 2016 12:17 AM

immy teale

the trailer is probably better than the actual movie. the movie was very slow and boring. not much of ethan hawke. drifts between past present and future but it's confusing how they did it. not a terrible film. It's just my opinion. - @Sunday, June 26, 2016 11:52 AM
