Release Date April 12, 2024 Director Julio Quintana Cast Dennis Quaid , Gillian Vigman , Jay Hernandez , Jaina Lee Ortiz , Brett Cullen , Oscar Nunez , Cheech Marin , Julian Works Runtime 106 Minutes Main Genre Drama Writers Paco Farias , Humberto G.

'The Long Game' Is an Unfocused Sports Drama The Long Game lacks a central thesis.
While Quaid feels like he's phoning it in sometimes, Hernandez shines as a vet struggling with PTSD and a man who is determined to earn respect in a world that sometimes won't even acknowledge him. Works' Joe is easily the most complex character of the five players, though his story suffers when a romantic plot is written in with neither enough material to be interesting nor enough screen time to feel earned.
