The premise of a two hour film about how Nike secured their groundbreaking relationship with basketball superstar Michael Jordan doesn´t really inspire one to dedicate the time and would probably make you pass on by to something with a bit more promise. But throw Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman and Viola Davies into the pot and mix with a deliciously written script and attention to mid 1980´s detail and what you have is a delightful film which is filled with laughs.
Matt Damon plays the agent for Nike, who goes against the norm to put together a deal to entice Jordan away from the two leading brands at the time, Converse and Adidas, and make the seemingly impossible happen (hopefully not a spoiler).
It is beautifully acted with a funky eighties soundtrack and some of the best expletive rich dialogues that I can remember since ´Glengarry, Glen Ross´.
A delight.
8/10
