Britain’s Peter Colt has never quite lived up to his dreams of tennis stardom. Once ranked as high as number 11 in the world, the journeyman veteran has watched his number slip to 119 as his confidence on the court slowly ebbs away. Now, on the eve of his leaving the world of professional tennis, he’s granted a wild card, allowing him to play his final Wimbledon tournament…make that his final tournament ever.
Acting
Bettany's hangdog charm carries every scene; Dunst's chaotic energy perfectly mismatched.
Cinematography
Actual Centre Court filming — rare access makes tennis sequences genuinely electric.
Score
British pop soundtrack that screams 2004 in the best possible way.
