The Way Back (2020)
How does one make a basketball movie in 2020 that isn’t quickly compared to Hoosiers, Coach Carter, Glory Road, and Hurricane Season, not to mention the many other films centered around a sports team facing some adverse situation? Sometimes, when you see the trailers for the first time of a movie like Gavin O’Connor’s (The Accountant, Warrior) The Way Back, you kind of grain, thinking, “Here we go again. How are we supposed to get something different from this movie?” But he was unequivocably able to do that. Admittedly, this movie could have been better in terms of its script and the conditions of its sequencing. Still, its parts made up for its, sometimes, lack of cohesiveness and left you feeling hopeful in a movie that you expected to find hope, albeit in a much different way.
