Hit it Hard

2016 · 50 min Documentary
6.0 / 10 · TMDB

John Daly didn't fit into the world of golf when he burst onto the scene in 1991, gripping it and ripping it all the way to the top. An immense natural talent, he’s had improbable highs on golf's biggest stages and brutal lows like suspensions, divorces, rehabs and relapses. Through it all, this "rockstar of golf” has remained loved by his loyal fans. HIT IT HARD is a journey into the early years of John’s tumultuous career while also observing him today, two decades after his glory days. The film explores why, despite his myriad mistakes, he’s still so universally loved for being John Daly.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The documentary constructs a portrait through the contrast of archival triumph footage and candid present-day interviews, exploring the phenomenon of public affection for a flawed sports icon. It relies on Daly's personal admissions and perspectives from his inner circle to build a nuanced character study.

What lingers after the final putt is a meditation on the cost of fame, the power of raw charisma, and the human fragility behind the spectacle of professional athletics. — MovieFinder Editorial
