...youngest brother Eddie, the current flash of Springs Valley High, resembles him too. "The same mannerisms, the same temper--no, temperament," says Coach Gary Holland, whose first year at Springs Valley was Larry's last. "I was getting on Eddie the other day, and he was so upset he decided to put one in left-handed from the right side of the basket. We all just shook our heads."

Just as easily, the movie can be underrated as a film-school exercise, with visual strategies reminiscent of both Terrence Malick and Sergio Leone, and a grisly climax that borrows from Psycho and Ministry of Fear.
