Moviegoers are saying
This true story about burn survivor John O'Leary splits audiences down the middle - while some find it genuinely inspiring with standout performances from William H. Macy as legendary broadcaster Jack Buck, others can't get past the 'so bad it's good' acting and cringe-worthy dialogue that turns dramatic moments into unintentional comedy. The film's authentic St. Louis setting and real Cardinals cameos earn points with locals, but technical issues like obvious green screens and awkward pacing leave many viewers burned.

Xeremy Hall 🟠🟢🔵Oct 11, 2025I worked on this movie in the fall of 2023. We had a great locations team and did the best job that we could given the circumstances we had to overcome. The O'Leary family were wonderful to work with. I personally got to work with John and his parents and they couldn't…

John O’ Leary was severely burned in a freak accident as a child, leaving his body 100% affected. We see his miraculous survival and learning he is worth more underneath his scars. While the film did water my eyes a little, it also came with noticeable setbacks. Some lines…
