Review of Eight Men Out (1988) by Ryan V — 04 Jun 2012
One of the greatest sports movies of all time. It plays with a few details, but otherwise is historically accurate. A great cast is in place, highlighted by John Cusack, David Strathairn and John Mahoney.
So much magnificent attention to detail is placed in this film. Given the way Charles Comiskey treated and took advantage of his ballplayers, it's hard to view the "eight men out" as the villains of the story.
Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe Jackson are downright tragic heroes.
