Following the 25th anniversary of their "big game," members of a high school basketball team reunite to hash over old times and learn just how far each has fallen from their glory days. In the intervening years, they've become an embattled mayor, a high school principal, a shyster businessman, a drunken writer and a retired coach. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the film stars Robert Mitchum, Bruce Dern, Stacy Keach and Martin Sheen.

...the movie's theatrical origins remain obvious throughout, both in the dialogue and direction.
It's hard to say that the picture is bad, just that it's dry as tinder without a spark to ignite it.
Incredible performances highlight this brittle, emotional saga of how significant moments in life can have considerable impact later.
A hard-hitting, brooding drama about sports that lances the American myth of competition and winning.
I was so completely bored when I saw this on TV, it wasn't entertaining or fun or anything. It does have a good cast of older actors you'll recognize, but it's not worth watching just to see them either.
