Balls on Film: A Sports Movie Podcast

Mercenary | A Sports Movie Review

Listen Later

We kick off a shorter season of Balls On Film with our first non-English language movie and one of the indiest of indie films we've ever looked at on this podcast: Mercenary.

 

While it starts as a well-obverved look at how French rugby can pluck amateur players from their homes, it begins to fall apart in the middle when the other stories become more prominent. Andrew also wasn't a big fan of attacking a man while he's getting a tattoo.

 

But, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Listen to this episode of Balls On Film to find out what The BOF Boys think of Mercenary.
