I remember the magical '94 season: Pedro Martinez, Moises Alou, Larry Walker, Marquis Grissom' Mel Rojas, J Wetteland. I even remembered the 80s with Tim Raines, Andrés Galarraga, Gary Carter and Andre Dawson.

So many majestic players and names... and you know what? Hardly anyone above was in this documentary! Arent these sports movies suppose to take us back in time and rekindle our love for teams and players?

I understand this title is about who the heck to blame for moving the Expos, but let us revel in some nostalgia will ya?

Only watched half of the doc and had to shut it off because it featured so many interviews with people WHO WERENT PLAYERS, and just local reporters, etc. The doc also documents the financial background and owners. What a yawner!

What makes movies for me are good lines and acting, of course. In the beginning part of the film, quite good lines and a good rapport between the Main couple Ethan and Nora. Baddie Jason Bateman's character was well played too. It was also quite eye-opening to see the inner workings of LAX terminal and the baggage areas.

The setting is perfect - LAX on Christmas Eve sprinkled with shades of Die Hard and Bruce Willis!

But then some very implausible things happen which means basically a lot of lazy script writing.

NOTE FOR FUTURE: When you have a gun on a mass terrorist, please shoot him the legs at least and not give them control!

What could have been...
