Murderball (2005)

This documentary on paralympic rugby has been in the netflix queue for a long time, and has a lot of rave reviews, but is ultimately disappointing.  I didn't care about Joe Soares "defecting" to coach the Canadian team, and the filming of his semi-functional relationship with his son is forced and hackneyed.  I *did* care about the stories of the people who were actually playing, and wanted to actually see a game played and explained, rather than 20 seconds of explanation of how the game works and a lot of highlight-reel cuts that give no sense of the flow of the game.  Searching youtube reveals few useful stretches of actual gameplay.  Boo.
