Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

30 for 30 Shorts: Kid Danny (2014) If you were aware of sports in the summer of 2001 then the name Danny Almonte was all over SportsCenter and countless other news programs. At the Little League World Series in his first game, Danny threw a perfect game and struck out sixteen of the eighteen batters that he faced. He ended up piling up one record after another but shortly after the end of the tournament word began to get out that he was actually fourteen-years-old, which was two years older than you were allowed to be. KID DANNY is another excellent entry in the ESPN series that gives one a clear idea of what it was like going through this period. We learn that Danny's father and his best friend were the ones behind the lie to get Danny in the spotlight and you can't help but feel sorry for the kid since he was pretty much here without any family and no one looking after his welfare. You also can't help but hate the media a little more when you see how they were hounding a 14-year-old kid. Danny gets the tell his story and it's a very interesting one to say the least.Episode: A-
