A truly great underdog story
31 December 2023
After such films like The Monuments Men and Suburbicon, I thought there was little hope for George Clooney as a film director, but after seeing The Boys in the Boat, I think he can be a terrific filmmaker.

In 1936, Joe Rantz (Callum Turner) A poor college student struggling to make ends meat, tries out for a rowing team, in hopes to pay for his tuition. But when he makes the team, now hoping to make it has a winner, when everybody says they don't have a chance. Will the team prove that they are winners?

Another great sports film, where your rooting for the underdog. The actors really deliver well in there performances. Scenes when they are training, you in the audience feel tired with them. Also a great 1930's setting. George Clooney has director proves he still got the chops. Scenes during the rowing races are fun and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Joel Edgerton is also great has there coach.
