Product Description
Product Description
Kevin Costner (Field of Dreams) stars in For Love of the Game, a heartwarming drama about love, life and the perfect game. Legendary Detroit Tigers pitcher Billy Chapel (Costner) has always been better at baseball than at love. Nobody knows that better than his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Jane (Kelly Preston). At the end of a disappointing season, just before what may be the last professional game of his life, Jane tells Billy she's leaving him. Now, with his career and his love life in the balance, Billy battles against his physical and emotional limits as he plays the game of his life and must come to a critical decision that will change his future forever.

Billy Chapel (Kevin Costner) is having a bad day. His girlfriend Jane (Kelly Preston, stunning as ever) says she's leaving, and his boss (Brian Cox) says he's selling the business and ace employee Billy may be out of job. Sounds like business as usual for an old-fashioned veteran. However, the business is baseball and for Billy Chapel, the 40-year old former all-star for the Detroit Tigers, it means his career--and his life--is at a crossroads.
Although it is no Bull Durham, For Love of the Game finds a solid and very believable role for Costner. The film is based on Michael Shaara's (The Killer Angels) stream-of-consciousness novel (the rough manuscript was found after his death 1988). The entire film takes place on Billy's day on the mound against the Yankees, a meaningless late-season game for the Tigers, but everything for Billy. In flashbacks, he lingers over his long relationship with Jane and his baseball career (from World Series heroism to a career-threatening injury). His one viable link to the game at hand is his catcher, played winningly by John C. Reilly. Costner, like Chapel, is looking for one more great performance, but the film is too simplistic and loopy at times to resonate. The love story has an extra helping of cuteness, and legendary baseball announcer Vin Scully nearly takes on a leading role, waxing grandiloquent. It's no grand slam, but a solid double. --Doug Thomas

First off, the picture and sound quality of the Blu-ray are fantastic. The sharpness and clarity of the images truly bring out the beauty of the baseball game and the stunning landscapes. The sound quality is also top-notch, with the cheers of the crowd and the crack of the bat sounding incredibly realistic.
But what really makes this Blu-ray special is the bonus features. The commentary by director Sam Raimi and star Kevin Costner provides insightful behind-the-scenes details that enhance the viewing experience. The making-of featurette is also fascinating, as it delves into the challenges of filming the movie's intricate baseball scenes.
But even without the bonus features, "For Love of the Game" is a cinematic home run. The performances by the cast, especially Costner and Kelly Preston, are incredibly moving and powerful. The movie's themes of love, loss, and redemption will resonate with audiences long after the credits roll.
In conclusion, "For Love of the Game" on Blu-ray is a must-have for any movie and baseball fan. It's a beautiful and emotional film that will be enjoyed time and time again. I highly recommend it.
