While it is true that this film lacks the blood, violence, sex, profanity and an explosion or car crash every few minutes, it makes up for it in other ways. For audiences that are used to and expect this type of "Hollywood" film, this movie will disappoint, but for anyone who enjoys a story of courage and sacrifice where right ultimately prevails, "Creator's Game" should please. In addition to the story, I enjoyed learning more about the game of Lacrosse and watching the game footage. Kudos to the filmmakers who were able to make it interesting to watch as well.
Creator's Game is beautifully photographed and visually interesting to watch. The acting isn't great, but many of the actors are new and this is their first film. Cut them some slack! Everybody has to start somewhere. Al Harrington does a respectable job as does Dakota House. I remember watching him on a series out of Canada called "North of 60" and he was very good. He also did a stint on "The X-Files." The kid who played "Shawn," Michael Birkeland showed great comic timing and the comic jewel was the "Bookie." Watch for him. Unfortunately, the music score went lacking in this film. That is probably the biggest weakness. It would have been much better with a credible arrangement.
All in all though, as sports stories go, Creator's Game scores.
