A few million extra dollars in the budget might have helped, but this low-rent approach raises the question—if you can’t say it well, should you say it at all?
“Youngblood” is a solid sports movie about identity, family, romance, second chances, with decent hockey action, that also doubles as a coming-of-age film.
The message is that it’s everyone’s responsibility to help overly-proud people who need help get help, and it’s their responsibility to learn to ask for help.
At two hours long, it’s a boring, turgid watch that scoffs at tradition and feels a lot longer than it is. Emily Brontë is definitely rolling in her grave.
A cut above the usual heist-thriller and featuring Mark Ruffalo’s Columbo-like performance, “Crime 101” makes you wish all neo-noirs were this captivating.
