Cliche and boring. The story itself isn't terribly fascinating and the film manages to emphatically drive that point home. Absolutely zero creative vision from John Sayles. I can appreciate a good baseball film, but this isn't one of them. Very dull.

Hadn’t actually watched this in 20 years. Last watched it at my grandpa’s house on VHS and was immediately drawn to the history of the game and the relation it has with so many people. This isn’t a great movie but who cares. Many things have changed even the black Sox were able to win one. But one thing remains the same. Only a fool would doubt the Seattle Mariners. One day. One day.

A worthy big screen version of one of the most notorious scandals in baseball history. There are solid if unspectacular performances from the cast and I'm unsure whether it would hold the interest of non sports fans, but for it's intended audience Eight Men Out hits an impressive double

Very nice period film with a strong cast. I went into this knowing nothing about this little piece of history so I can't comment on the historical accuracy. As a film, though, it works very well; and because of the type of story it is we end up with a unique sports movie that avoids most of the overused tropes of the genre. Could have shortened the courtroom bit toward the end, but generally the film is well done.

i could't care less about baseball, but i find myself mesmerized by movies of baseball in it's earlier years. i find no reason to defend myself considering that sayles wrote and directed a fine movie, and every one of it's number of recognizable players puts on a great show.

I didn't know too many details about the scandal beforehand, and I understand this was a dramatization; but, it was interesting to learn more about who was involved and who wasn't, the motives, and how the whole incident went down. The filmmaking is good here, but I could've done without the courtroom drama at the end.

This is a good movie. No one really stands out in this movie but the story is interesting. It is a good ensemble piece.

Perhaps better known as "That one baseball movie that doesn't suck", Eight Men Out is a fine, fact-based slice of americana with a decidedly dark undercurrent. With an outstanding cast and atmosphere that oozes authenticity, Sayles knocks this one out of the park (SEE WHAT I FUCKING DID THERE?! THAT'S RIGHT!!! I MADE A REFERENCE TO THE SPORT DEPICTED - IN - THE MOVIE!!! I just... fucking... rule. I truly fucking do. You guys should all send me money).

Pretty solid sports flick. I would have preferred a score comprised of something other than canned marching band/ jazz music though.
