"Great representation of both tennis players at the 1980 Wimbleto"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I especially liked the actor who portrayed Bjorn Borg who looked exactly like the player, which was uncanny. Both he and Shae Labeouf played their characters to a tee. The story flowed well and the movie was very enjoyable to watch.

Description

Borg vs McEnroe

It’s the summer of 1980 and Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason) is the top tennis player in the world, dominating the sport both on and off the court. A powerful and rigorously disciplined player, there is only one obstacle in his pursuit of a record-breaking fifth Wimbledon championship: the highly talented but ferociously abrasive young American, John McEnroe (a perfectly cast Shia LaBeouf).

With three days until the tournament begins, Borg trains religiously in his lavish Monaco home, aided by his coach and mentor Lennart (Stellan Skarsgård) and girlfriend Mariana (Tuva Novotny). But McEnroe’s explosive confidence and wreckingball persona continue to infiltrate Borg’s ice-cool and normally unshakable temperament. With each man the antithesis of the other, both players delve into their formative memories as the climactic tournament draws near and anticipation reaches fever pitch.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Gives insight into the lives of these two gold star athletes, revealing the men behind the game. " – Richard Crouse
  • " Borg vs. McEnroe goes beyond a sporting rivalry to show a human story about perseverance. " – Ricardo Gallegos
  • " In theory opposites, the cool-as-ice Swede and the hothead American came from the same place. Well-made and entertaining… " – Jorge Ignacio Castillo
