Netflix's 'The Mosquito Bowl', filmed by Peter Berg, features Nicholas Galitzine and Bill Skarsgård. It is based on a true story. The film follows four college football players who join the Marines during WWII. Early reviews note the technical skills but criticize the lack of emotional depth. Ray Nicholson, who played a Marine, had knee surgery during filming but resumed working the next day. The movie showcases Pat McAfee in his first acting role.
