Customer Reviews of Hardball
Hardball Is Reeves' Best Performance Yet! It seems that everywhere I look here, people are trashing the acting ability (or, as some might say, the lack thereof) of Keanu Reeves. However, I feel he gives his finest performance in "Hardball." Here, he plays Conor O'Neil, a down-on-his-luck gambler/ticket scalper who's in deep with the bookies. To get out of his debts, he takes a job coaching a rag-tag band of inner city Chicago youths in their baseball league. The plot is somewhat predictable...kids who don't trust anyone, the coach who doesn't want to be there...respect eventually earned...etc., etc. Diane Lane makes a welcome return from who-knows-where as a teacher who eventually develops a close friendship with Conor. The kids, most of whom are first-time actors, add life to the story, but it's Keanu who makes the film worth watching. Here, he shows real emotion, real change, and some nice moments of comic clumsiness that will make you laugh. I don't care what people may say about my Keanu; he made me cry at the end of the film, and I felt that his charcater truly grew and changed from the coaching experience. A very good film, but, as some have said before, NOT for young children. It does take place in the Chicago Projects, and there is violence in the film. NOT for people who get upset too easily.
An solid drama.
A down on his luck man by the name of Connor O`Neal (Keanu Reeves), who does have a large debt to Pay but he has been giving a Second Chance to Teach Underprivileged Kids in the Toughest Parts of Chicago to becoming an Coach of a Baseball Team but Slowly Connor learns to be a Coach and Caring of the Kids from the Team-discover that Redemption comes in all Different Sizes in Life.
Directed by Brian Robbins (Ready to Rumble) made a Often Funny and Touching Film. This Movie is Actually, Based on a True Story, Based on a Novel by Daniel Coyle and From an Screenplay by John Gatins. Keanu Reeves gives a fine Performance in This. The Kids are also Great in This.

DVD`s Feautres are:Three Deleted Scenes, Feautrette and More. This is a fine, Well-Made Drama. Grade:A-.
This movie was awful!!!
Keanu gives his worst performance yet! A film that should have never gotten past pre-production. A horrible script along with an actor that should have never even considered this film. Diane Lane is the only descent actor in this movie. Go rent "The Matrix Trilogy"!!
