What redeems The Greatest from being a melodramatic made-for-TV-ish film is Pierce Brosnan's tremendously moving performance. And he's not the only actor who emerges from The Greatest as someone able to rise far, far above average material. The Greatest proves Carey Mulligan (terrific in An Education) is a rising star who deserves serious attention. Susan Sarandon also has some shining moments in this melodramatic independent film from writer/director Shana Feste.
