Metz and Sandahl have found terrifically cinematic ways to communicate this trick bond between the rivals. | Rating: 3/4 Interestingly enough, Borg's own teen son Leo plays him as a young man who rails against his father (an excellent Stellan Skarsgård) and feverishly lobs tennis balls against the family garage.

| Rating: 2/5 We won’t be able to verify your ticket today, but it’s great to know for the future.Regal It's a very solid story about two rivals that live very different lives, so to speak. The fate of womens' roles in society hanged in the balance. Although not really known for anything mainstream yet, writer Ronnie Sandahl and director Janus Metz definitely have bright futures if they choose to break out even further.

The true story of the 1973 tennis match between World number one The story of the 1980 tennis rivalry between the placid Björn Borg and the volatile John McEnroe. The great Swedish love story.

A teenage girl with nothing to lose joins a traveling magazine sales crew, and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law bending and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits. TV Premiere Dates 2020 A powerful and rigorously disciplined player, there is only one obstacle in his pursuit of a record-breaking fifth Wimbledon championship: the highly talented but ferociously abrasive young American, John McEnroe (a perfectly cast Shia LaBeouf).

He has won the tournament four times in a row - a fifth consecutive time would be a world first.

Technically, except for the big match, the film stays tight on our protagonists. In theory opposites, the cool-as-ice Swede and the hothead American came from the same place.
