Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) was an amazing basketball player and helped his team win the state championship, he was supposed to go to Kansas. Cunningham had everything ahead of him and then he just stopped he didn't go to Kansas, and he just walked away from the sport that he loved. Now Cunningham is a part of the construction crew, he separated from his wife and he's stood far away from the sport that he loved, and it goes straight from work to the bar.
And then when the current coach as of heart attack all of a sudden they get ahold of Cunningham and they want him to come in and replace the head coach. Jack comes in it talks to the guy who wants to hire him as a head basketball coach. And he has to know the next day if Cunningham wants to come in and be a head coach of a struggling basketball team and this might be the last chance for Jack do turn his life around as well.
I thought this movie was one of the best performances that Ben Affleck has ever given, we all know the problems that he's went through. And that was all a huge part of this story because I feel like it went through all of this stuff and I thought he did one of the best roles of his life because he lived through all of this. I've always loved Ben Affleck and I'm so excited that he recovered and I like the fact but he said the biggest regret was being divorced Jennifer Gardner and the best part of his life was being back with his children.
I would highly recommend you see this movie this movie is well directed, written by Gavin O'Connor and everybody a part of this movie was outstanding. Bottom line is this movie is one of the best films I will see all year.
