Amador

A somewhat befuddled storyline; somewhat good acting by Michael Ranney Jr..

I had this movie in my Netflix queue for several years before finally watching it. I am a big fan of Last Change U Basketball as well as just watching Prep basketball and I always knew shady things happened OR even how these prep schools exist. THis movie does a decent job of showing how adults mishandle the kids knowing good and well they will profit off them. I feel like if given a great director and producers to back this film it could have been a great movie - that being said I am not sure many want this story to be told because millions are being made with this lifestyle. Good sit down movie to watch but the ending def needed work as others have mentioned.

This movie strips the reality of it all back at just the right amount as to not spoil the plot too much but still strike enough of a chord if you've got any personal connection to the game, fantastic watch and very moving

This film is good don't get me wronge but it's not by any means at the same level as other films like it it's no coach carter the main thing that let's it down is the main character this kid cannot act said the same when he was in power he has no expression just awful cannot understand how he keeps getting picked for roles

Amateur is a simple story that shows the struggles of a talented young basketball player to fit on his new team.This movie reports the corruption on basketball and the way that it has changed.The actors were great,the plot was emotional and really enjoyable.One thing I didn't like about this movie was that the pace of it because it was quite slow.But in general this movie is great and I recommend it.
