At the end of a documentary that, presumably, was supposed to have a happy — or at least hopeful — ending, Johnny Manziel is kicked back at a Scottsdale, Arizona, pool/darts party with a Stella Artois in his hand. Off camera, his sister is speaking.
“He’s not in a place mentally to go out and do something right now,” she said, solemnly, of his current state that seems mostly rudderless.
Generally speaking, documentaries are about telling a story in full. But with Netflix's “Untold: Johnny Football,” this feels like the end of Act 2, with no clue about what could comes next.
