George Clooney's "The Boys in the Boat" Sinks or Swims

TL;DR Summary
George Clooney's film adaptation of "The Boys in the Boat" fails to capture the inspirational essence of the true underdog story of the 1936 University of Washington rowing team at the Berlin Olympics. Despite its formulaic plot and lack of character development, the film is beautifully shot with a standout score. However, it falls short in delivering the emotional impact and unity that the story deserves, resulting in a forgettable and mediocre movie.
