Michael Fassbender as Thomas Rongen has done an impressive job.Oscar Kightley as Tavita also has done justice to the role.Kaimana as Jaiyah Saelua is absolutely stunning in her role. David Fane as Ace is also amazing.

Analysis

The movie is a tale of how an underperforming team improves and emerges out as the best. The film tries to portray all the best heartfelt emotions in the documentary. The movie feels overly stretched and burdened for it to appear perfect. The film raises significant issues but with lack of credibility and this makes it look over-decorated. At places the film feels deviated and misleading.

What's There?

  • Inspirational and sportsmanship-based story.
  • Actual life incidents portrayed well.

What's Not There?

  • There is a lack of authenticity at times, as the plot gets altered from the original one.

Verdict

The movie has a beautiful plot and is very inspirational. The actual life incident and inspirational characters and to the shine of the movie. The film conveys its message despite its slow pace. It's a worthy watch, especially if you love watching sports drama.
