Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino) plays Gus Loebl, a baseball scout for the Atlanta Braves. The general manager of the Atlanta Braves wants Gus to retire because he is getting to old for his job, but Gus wants just one chance to prove him wrong. Mickey (Amy Adams), Gus's daughter, knows that her dad is getting old and is loosing his eye vision. So Mickey comes with her dad on one last trip to recruit one of the top players, Bo Gentry. Gus sees that Bo has trouble with the curve ball so he doesn't want them to pick him as their next draft because he can't hit a curve ball, but Mickey finds this guy who lives at the motel that they are staying at and she watches him pitch to his brother. She sees that he is very good and has an amazing curve ball. So, Mickey brings him to the Atlanta Braves stadium to show the general manager, the head of scouting, and another scout that Bo can't hit a curve ball. The general manager sees that Bo can't hit a curve ball and that the pitcher is really good. So their next draft is the pitcher. Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Robert Patrick, and Matthew Lillard also star in this film. I would give this film 4 out of 5 stars. Clint Eastwood does it again.
