1 star (Turkey) Can't work out a reason for making this film unless it was to promote the sport. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) Didn't expect to like this, but I did. As Aroview says, perfectly cast, and while your mind is boggling at the carnage, there's a sweetly daffy romance and Schreiber's Canadian accent to enjoy. ~HiFi
