It's much more than a curiosity, and if any of this description appeals to you, you know it's a movie, regained, that will hold your attention however much a novelist's voice often drives the flow of the picture. That DeLillo kid? He sure shows promise.

Filled with heavy dialogue, Game 6 is a film that feels more appropriate for the stage. That said, it takes on challenging themes and deep thoughts.

For better and worse, this is a fiction writer's movie: the dialogue is admirably precise, yet the restrictive worldview that's so gripping in DeLillo's books seems like mere solipsism on-screen.

Um retrato pretensioso de Nova York como centro dramático do mundo que acaba se salvando em função dos bons diálogos e das ótimas performances de Keaton e Downey Jr.

Barbara Vancheri Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 6, 2006 2.5/4

A mediocre to average movie with a stellar performance by Keaton and cerebral themes about failure and fears that stay fuzzy instead of coming into sharp focus.

Game 6 is ultimately a curious dud, although it makes us anxiously await DeLillo's next time at bat.

If you're looking for a film about smart, confused people who make mistakes (like Buckner) and try to learn from them, this could be it.

Game 6 is enthralled with the sound of its words, even as it loves the deliberate, sensual pace of a well-played (or well-lost) ball game.

The Red Sox as fatalistic metaphor is almost a quaint notion now, but Game 6 brings it all back to vivid life.

The thudding, obvious symbolism is the film's biggest concern and its primary problem.

Keaton embraces his role with a relish he hasn't shown in more than a decade, winding his character into new corners of desperation with each scene.

A shaky director, a deadly critic and a losing ball club collide in an entertaining surreal showdown just off Broadway.

A meditation on American theater and the Great American Pastime that hovers above the surface of reality but never quite takes off, either.
