After I, Tonya this is the second sports related movie I watch this month and twice I didn't have huge expectations about it and twice I was pleasantly surprised. The difference this time is that I would never watch figure skating in real while tennis is an appealing sport to me. I remember watching the rivalry on the tennis courts between John McEnroe and Björn Borg. Those were great games of tennis. Everybody knows McEnroe for his temperament and of course his great tennis skills but what was interesting to me is to see how Borg used to be while he was little. He was exactly the same as McEnroe and so it doesn't surprise me at all that they became friends in the end. The movie is very well made, with a lot of back story, and so not only tennis shots. Shia Leboeuf did a good job portraying John McEnroe, but the amazing thing in this movie must be the stunning resemblance from Sverrir Gudnason with Björn Borg. It's like they could have been brothers. Even if you're not into sports, or tennis in this case, this movie is certainly worth a watch. A movie full of emotions.
