This film wouldn't have been on my radar if it wasn't directed by Ben Affleck or starring Matt Damon, both of whom I'm a huge fan of. The premise wasn't that interesting to me, but after seeing the positive reviews, I definitely wanted to see it. In 1984, Nike tries to pursue a partnership with basketball player Michael Jordan. I actually really liked this film, which was surprising to say the least. Despite generally not being interested in Nike, basketball or Michael Jordan, I quickly became invested in the story. The main character, Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) was a great character for the film to centre around. He was very likeable and really easy to root for. The soundtrack of the film is great. Not only does it set the scene/time period well, but it also makes the story more entertaining. What I liked most about the film was that it could have been about anything and would have been just as good. The story is compelling because it is a classic underdog story. Whet...
