Netflix's 'The Mosquito Bowl', directed by Peter Berg, stars Nicholas Galitzine and Bill Skarsgård. This movie is based on a true story. The movie follows four college football players who enlist in the Marines during WWII. Early reviews note the technical skills but lament the lack of emotional depth. Ray Nicholson, who played a Marine, had knee surgery during filming but returned to work the next day. The movie features Pat McAfee in his first acting role.
