The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The storyline and acting are as square as can be. The slow mo gameplay footage clearly laughable with opponents clearly not attempting to block advances at all and letting the lead player through what looked like spaces wide as barn doors. Think how boxing scenes in third tier boxing movies always play out: the opponents don't bother to block or duck away from any oncoming punches, they also start turning their heads even before the punch lands... Writing seems to have been done by someone with no knowledge of neither basketball or reality. For instance: the new young rookie recruit asks if he will be a starter (starting 5 players) in his very first game for his new team. When and where has that ever happened? Also moral aspects are here poorly accentuated in spades. It all feels and reads like a poor Hallmark After School Special.

Amateur is a simple story that shows the struggles of a talented young basketball player to fit on his new team.This movie report the corruption on basketball and the way that it changed.The actors were great,the plot was emotional and really enjoyable.One thing I didn't like about this movie was that the pace of it was quite slow.But in general this movie is great and I recommend it.

This may be a fictional movie, but it certainly seems like it could be a documentary. It certainly encapsulates what high school basketball has become, especially at top-level "schools".

It keeps your attention throughout the whole movie, it is well written, and acting is also great. There aren't that many plot twists but those that are present are good. Soundtrack is decent, though there aren't any memorable tracks except for the Logic - Ballin' song. Its a well done movie with great actors, and it is definitely worth your watch!
