...score a goal the next 10 min are the most important part of the game and that’s something we definitely need to be working on,” Johnson said. “That we score and then tend to let up a little bit and let them come into our half a little too much...
That's an awful lot of cinematic firepower for what is essentially a 40-min. boutique movie, and even Hanks has only so many favor chits to play. The reason he spends them on projects like this, he says, has less to do with his childhood love of space than with his lack of the temperament to pursue space as a career.
