The worst part is, this treacle-soaked drama could actually be a great mode if the end goal wasn't the NFL. This rival is played by Tye Sheridan of X-Men and Ready Player One fame, but ‘played’ is too strong an adjective for what he brings.Īll of his lines feel like they were mumbled down the phone at 6am.
