Back in high school, Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) had everything going for him. A basketball phenom, he could have punched his ticket to college or even the pros, but, instead, he chose to walk away from the game, forfeiting his future.
Jack’s glory days are long gone…but, as it turns out, not forgotten. Years later, he gets the chance to take back his life when he is asked to coach the struggling basketball team at his alma mater. Jack reluctantly accepts, surprising no one more than himself, and as the boys start to come together as a team and win, Jack may get his last shot at redemption.

lis this go
Ah yes, the Netflix series Hoops
As a ironworker.
And a Alcoholic.
I can relate to his character..
Ben is a wonderful man and actor. This movie should have gave him an Academy Award
this couldn't have been a hallmark movie?
At first glance, I am guessing that he lost his wife and custody of his son because of alcohol abuse. And she comes back as imaginary support who follows him on his recovery journey back to health. Am I wrong?
A perfect movie, from beginning to end.
Beautiful movie!!!
Fighting Addiction is hard. I'm fighting an addiction to caffeine. Seriously. I can't stop.
This is a great movie!!
coming up on 7 years clean and sober and this movie hits home
Good Movie With Ben With BasketbaLL
great movie – for one who likes real drama, nad I mean real
This movie is amazing!!! Great performance and a well written script.
Nice movie worth watching
I have seen this today, and basically every clichés from this kind of sport dramas has been collected for this film: self-destructing protagonist, talented kids who has came from a poor families… it was the most predictable film ever..
You have no idea the pressures of true Faith. I saw no flaws in this movie.. Knowing Affleck’s issues in the past, just to see him finish this movie was inspirational. In life those that use alcohol and drugs as a crutch is what most of us do. We’re in it together. As winners we we support those in need but especially ourselves.
I haven't been a super Ben Affleck fan but the more dramatic movies I see him acting in the more I realize how engaging he is to watch. I wish the director had put the score (winning) as the very last image like he did throughout the movie.
I usually try to avoid movies with actors that are political or an activist in any way (couldn't pay me to watch a Matt Damon movie) but I decided to watch this movie anyway and wow, I'm glad I did. What a fantastic movie.
Very good film . Wish it ended differently but good film
As a struggling alcoholic who has lost many friends and a fiancé this movie hit home so hard. Everything depictited is the life of a drunk. All the mistakes, regret, waking up sick , cursing, agony pain. It’s all true. I refuse to drink again. I’m on day 6 and this movie is an eye opener. I’m just sorry to all that I’ve hurt. Especially my fiancé Alana. But I can’t change the past, I will only mold my future. God bless
this looks good
Ganda. Pero bakit bitin? JAHAHHAHAHH
Is this a Ben Affleck rehabilitation film?
I loved this movie. I wish there was more like this
10H54
Day 2 for me.
Ben no King's of Batman this actor is a Waste of time he shouldn't got along putting Warners on dirt allowing too much reactions on Hype I hope all this should Band his Universe of Allowing Dc Smearing others going same way that type right There looks pathetic I can Not tell if he's fooling being a Batman lover
I gotta watch this movie, based off the reviews and it being about an alcoholic and a blue collar worker, it relates to a lot people including ourselves, cant wait to start watching it later.
At approximately 14 minutes into the real movie he pushes beer from the refrigerator to the freezer and cycles them out to keep them very cold. I thought I was the only weirdo who did that
They've made this same kind of movie hundreds of times. Getting pretty sick of it. Ben Affleck' talent would've been much better utilized on something other than a loosely based remake of so many basketball movies already available before this went into production.
“I’ve spent a lot of time hurting myself. I’ve made a lot of bad decisions. I’ve got a lot of regrets!!” I’m only 25 and this line hits me harder than anything!! I’ve only seen this movie twice and well…I see myself in Ben’s Character!!! Tbh I’ve notice I’ve been drinking more in the past week…and have more or less become a functional alcoholic!! Much to unforeseen circumstances beyond my control!!…what’s messed up is I’m typing this while I’m buzzed/drunk rn!!
A great film. What a shame WB did not wait until the pandemic was over before releasing it. Putting it on streaming was the first step towards destroying Affleck’s career and relegating him as a Made for TV movie actor.
There's just something inauthentic about Ben Affleck. Guy just comes across phony.
This man is built for Batman.
The movie was more than great
