"Brilliant, raucous. Brazenly entertaining. Tommy Lee Jones attacks the role with breathtaking ferocity." -Terrence Rafferty, The New Yorker
Tyrus Raymond Cobb played baseball like a man charging a machine-gun nest. He gave no quarter, took no prisoners. And when his Hall of Fame career was over, Ty Cobb attacked life the same way.
The Oscar-winning co-star of The Fugitive slides home with razor-sharp spikes flashing in Cobb. Tommy Lee Jones portrays the legendary-and equally cheered an detested-Georgia Peach in this acclaimed film from writer/director Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, Dark Blue), also starring Robert Wuhl and Lolita Davidovich. From its recapturing of the outfielder's playing days (Roger Clemens portrays a rival pitcher) to its recreation of a 1961 Hall of Fame banquet, Cobb is a movie grand slam.
