This reviewer loves "underdog" stories because they resonate with each one of us who has tried to do something big, and failed the first time. As a new entry in this genre, REZ BALL 2024 is rock solid. The script is good, the young players give it their all, and the direction is a lot like the game of B-ball itself -- constantly moving forward, constantly looking to capture your attention. Also nice to see Jessica Matten again in a starring role -- she was instrumental in making the DARK WINDS series a streaming hit. What this film has, however, to make it stand out, is an "existential" foe seldom encountered in a teen sports film. Most of us grow up in a culture where anything is possible. Rez kids do not know that culture. They are fighting not only the opposing teams, but also the dread that their life goals are going to be as hard-won as their game goals.
