Sugar is a movie where a Dominican baseball player has the ability to go the America the land of the free, the land of he great to play baseball for the minor leagues and depending on his skill the Majors. Sugar gives the viewer almost a back story of his life and lets us watch how he progresses as a baseball player from when he started in DR and how far he has gotten now. In this movie we get to know the main character on a level that most movies can not provide. As the movie develops we learn his weakness and how they seem to out weigh his strengths. While for most of the movie his ability to accurately through a ball gets him recognition the minute he has any real challenge he seems to lose his edge. While it is true that he got hurt not allowing him to train physically, it was never his body that was the issue it was his mind. If he trained his mind while his body was recovering he would have been able to play on a level never before thought possible. Overall just like any other movie it has flaws but overall it was really good. It had drama, action, character development, struggle, and most importantly a change for the better for the protagonist. If I could rate this movie I would give it a 6.9/10.
