The Way Back

    Ben Affleck as former-basketball-superstar turned coach of church high school team. Felt a bit like a by-the-numbers underdog-comes-good tale with a mixture of tragic father figure. I don’t think I’m ever gonna think of this other than “a film I saw”.  Made me think a lot more highly of The Accountant, I guess.
