Borg McEnroe: The story of one of tennis' greatest rivalries that culminated at the 1980 Wimbledon finals, between Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe as despite being rivals on the court, they are actually quite similar in terms of their upbringing to achieve winning and perfection. Great performances by Sverrir Gudnason (who will play Mikael Blomkvist in
The Girl in the Spider's Web) and Shia LeBeouf (I smell comeback as he was perfect in the role). I thought the film would focus more on Borg considering this is a Scandinavian production, but Ronnie Sandahl's script wisely gives nearly equal screen time for both titular roles.
Final Rating: A
This one looks intriguing. The one turn-off might be Shia LeBeouf, whose off-screen behavior and antics have damaged his public image and hurt his movie career.
I'll still check it out, though.
