...does not feel like patronizing director Marc Forster's film. One feels more like cheering it along. Yes, it is full of contrivance and coincidence. Yes, it comes to an uplifting ending that is not entirely plausible. And yes, we somehow never doubt that the good people of this tale are somehow going to triumph, even when they lose everything and are immersed in historical darkness.

Using steroids without a prescription is a criminal act, so baseball may not have been out of bounds here.
