Game 6

This is a quietly brilliant little film about a Broadway playwright, Nicky Rogan (Michael Keaton), whose opening night coincides with Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Robert Downey, Jr. is the loathsome critic who is about to plunge Nicky's career into the toilet. The immigrant connection comes in with each taxi ride, and is a wonderful element of the film. This is a story about connections- connecting over the theatre, over taxi rides, and, largely, connecting over baseball.
