The last time actor Ben Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor made a movie together, it was The Accountant. Will their follow-up, The Way Back, also become a future cable classic? Well, it’s an inspirational sports movie, about a once-promising athlete, now down-on-his-luck alcoholic (Affleck) who coaches a high school basketball team, so probably. It looks like Hardball, but with booze instead of gambling (time will only tell who the G-Baby is), meets Warrior, which, coincidentally, O’Connor also directed.
