First of all, as a rule, i don’t like sports movies. Because they always win. But this one was kinda interesting.

It was incredibly long in duration and a little slow at times. But unlike the last movie i watched, some incredible looks were painted to express the various temperaments of the desert. There was a good bit of visual effects used, some more convincing than others. The roof-top shootout was interesting—it was obvisouly green-screened, and looked almost like a side-scrolling video game how they were jumping and running with an almost-matching background passing behind them. Even though it didn’t look “real,” it had a neat look to it that somehow made the scene more fun for me.

There were a lot of layers to the story (maybe too many?), and i’ll probably have to figure out what i think about it a little more before i go any further.
