Netflix's 'The Mosquito Bowl', directed 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 mention the technical skills but lament the lack of emotional depth. Ray Nicholson, that played a Marine, underwent knee surgery during filming but resumed working the next day. The movie showcases Pat McAfee in his first acting role.
