Review of Catching Hell (2011) by Chris W — 29 Jul 2011
Steve Bartman's story is a classic example of the dangers of having a mob mentality. 'Catching Hell' does a great job of generating sympathy for Bartman and former Red Sox first baseman, Bill Buckner.
The film is interesting and entertaining, but could've been much better had it contained an interview with Bartman himself. Unfortunately for ESPN films, Bartman is a classic recluse and wouldn't budge on his 'not going to talk about it' stance.
Despite this hole, 'Catching Hell' serves as a fantastic sports documentary, and is a must watch for baseball fans. Grade: B.
