The Boys in the Boat Review
‘The Boys in the Boat’ finds George Clooney rowing in a very safe lane. George Clooney’s latest directorial effort is such a strait-laced historical biopic that you wonder whether he truly felt inspired to make the movie.
In theaters on December 25th, ‘The Boys in the Boat’ is George Clooney’s ninth film as a director, but it’s so disappointingly average that it feels like an earlier effort, or even a backwards step from one of his previous, more inventive movies. Certainly it has the benefit of a compelling true story, yet it never quite lives up to it.
