A good movie

Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection or movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features. This movie was a perfect example. I have to say it was something rather unexpected from Russell Mulcahy. Indeed, the guy has been mostly known for directing such features like  ‘Resident Evil: Extinction’, ‘Tale of the Mummy’, ‘The Shadow’, ‘The Real McCoy’, ‘Highlander’ and its dreadfull sequel. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I have to admit it, it was basically a rather standard sport biopic but I enjoyed the directing and even more the performances by Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis. Indeed, it was above all thank to them that the whole thing became quite compelling to watch. To conclude, even though it was nothing really original or mind-blowing, but it enjoyed the damned thing and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
