Eight Men Out
1988
**½
Director: John Sayles
Cast: John Cusack, Clifton James, Michale Lerner, Christopher Lloyd

A true story about eight members of Chicago White Sox who were paid to lose the 1919 World Series. John Sayles turns this interesting historical anecdote into a long, dry and dull drama. He is also wooden as one of the journalists in the film.
