Sure, the backdrop is about a Dominican trying to make the big leagues, but the film takes quite an unexpected turn, and pretty much stays there. Definitely not a typical Hollywood ending by any stretch of the imagination, but I think that's why I liked it so much.
The guy playing Sugar does a heckuva job. I read somewhere that he was a former ballplayer, and maybe that's why his performance seems so spot on.
Still I know my rating of "6" is not a very favorable one. It's definitely worth a look if you're already interested. But if not, I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. It's decent, but nothing special.
