Eight Men Out

8menout

This movie was made in 1988, and honestly it seemed like it.  At times hard to watch, and a little hard to follow.  The cast was a whose who of 80’s actors:

Cusack

Charlie Sheen

Christopher Lloyd

Michael Rooker

D.B. Sweeney

As usual Cusack was good, Charlie was Charlie, and though I’ll always have a predilection for “The Cutting Edge,” I have to admit Sweeney is generally pretty damn bad.

I thought the side story about Buck Weaver was really interesting and pretty tragic.  If you don’t know a lot about the Black Sox scandal; this is probably worth watching.
