Ratings and reviews

Though the commercials did their best to portray it as such. And I honestly don't know what the director's intention was, but it's essentially a comedic biography, with very little comedy. I don't know if Edgerton was told that. I couldn't tell if he was trying to be funny in some scenes, or if it just came off that way because Eddie was like that in real life and Edgerton is a master thespian. Either way, the movie as a whole is pretty decent.

I thought this movie would be interesting since it's based on a true story, but to be honest it was kind of boring. There were some parts that were good , but it's not a movie I'd watch again.

Really great overall story, very inspiring but had some points that didn't make too much sense and came together too perfect.
