Finally! Finally, a movie the delivers the start of what Brian Tyler's music can do, and it's actually a good movie! From 2005, The Greatest Game Ever Played.
Shia LeBeouf stars at Francis Ouimet in this Disney Biopic. Francis grew up loving golf, but was never really allowed to play, since only gentleman that are part of the golf club can really play. He did caddie for most of these gentleman since he lives across the street from The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. However, during the 1913 US Open, the club decides to let an amateur enter the competition. Francis is given the chance to enter, and become the first amateur to win the US Open.
This movie has all of the earmark of a classis Disney biopic The only real critique I have for the film is there are some very weird editing choices that were made that, had they not been allowed to happen, would have made it a near perfect film. The story was interesting and tense enough to keep you attention but also not so heavy with the drama that makes you eyes roll. For someone who is not interested in golf, I think that the tension felt in this movie is how a golf game should be reflected to those who do enjoy golf.
Mr. Tyler is finally here! I still can't tell you why I feel a connection with this man's compositions, but this is the first time I feel like I have really heard a Brian Tyler score since we have started. There have been plenty of bits a pieces of him here and there, but this is the first time I felt like he arrived! I'm very much excited for what is next!
