(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Hardball (DVD)

The movie proved that Keanu Reeves is very capable of expressing emotions on screen, contrary to his harshest critics. He was able to convey his initial attitude change from someone who was only coaching a kid's baseball team for money he desparately needed, to someone who genuinely cared with subtle finesse. It wasn't a cartoon character performance. The child actors also performed at a professional level not expected from their age group.

This review is from: Hardball (DVD)

I think this is one of Keanu Reeves best movies!!
No hi-tech sci-fi blow them up movie, a story of a man
down on his luck, who takes a job coaching a inner city
baseball team!!
I give this movie 5 of 5 stars!!
