I added this to my 'Basketball Related Movies' list but there is actually quite minimal basketball in it.

The fact that this film is based on a true story made it more interesting but it is quite frustrating that it takes so long to come to a close. It continually feels like it's about to reach it's climax and then drops again.

Dicaprio is amazing though, really interesting to see him so young and that his style and ability is no different to his more recent films. Voice overs in a similar fashion to 'The Beach' narrate the story and are well written and memorable.

Overall worth a watch, but it wouldn't ruin your life to miss it.
