Amateur

I wanted this to be so much more than it was. Not much weight to its construction and some might even say it lacks genuine feel for the game or the struggle of being a modern student athlete.

Amateur is a simple story that shows the struggles of a talented young basketball player to fit on his new team.This movie reports the corruption on basketball and the way that it has changed.The actors were great,the plot was emotional and really enjoyable.One thing I didn't like about this movie was that the pace of it because it was quite slow.But in general this movie is great and I recommend it.

I had this movie in my Netflix queue for several years before finally watching it. I am a big fan of Last Change U Basketball as well as just watching Prep basketball and I always knew shady things happened OR even how these prep schools exist. THis movie does a decent job of showing how adults mishandle the kids knowing good and well they will profit off them. I feel like if given a great director and producers to back this film it could have been a great movie - that being said I am not sure many want this story to be told because millions are being made with this lifestyle. Good sit down movie to watch but the ending def needed work as others have mentioned.

Amazing movie. Love the way it captures players reaching the self-actualized NBA aspirations

A somewhat befuddled storyline; somewhat good acting by Michael Ranney Jr..
