Summary: One of the Great Football Movies Ever!
Review: Oliver Stone's look at the world of professional football is a masterpiece. The film serves as a vision of contemporary Americans, our "gridiron" gladiators, their family life, their money-hungry owners, their coaches and the media. The franitic camera movement and music gives the film the tone and pace of a real professional football game.

The film features great performances by Al Pacino as the coach (without the usual "WHOO HAA!" lines), Cameron Diaz as the team owner and Dennis Quaid as the former star now trying recapture his lost glory. And up-and-comer Jamie Foxx gives a suprisingly brilliant performance as the young quarterback who wants to be a star. Oh, and be on the look out for guest appearances from former NFL stars and Oliver Stone himself in the broadcast booth.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Any Given Sunday
Review: Few sports films show everything that goes on off the field. Any Given Sunday shows the hardships and struggles our heros have to over come. The All-Star cast headed by Cameron Diaz (Owner), Jamie Fox (Quaterback), and Al Pacino (Head Coach). Director, Oliver Stone does a great job of showing you the eye-popping hits on the field and the tense rivalry off. A quaterback controversy, a disgruntled running back, a lose cannon linebacker, and an again coach are just a few of the problems the team has to deal with to make it into the post season. Oliver Stone does a terrific job of devolping characters and creating a common bond between the many obstacles the team has to overcome.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Oliver Stone doesn't show his best here, still entertaining
Review: Oliver Stone, director of the great vietnam film Platoon, one of the greatest movies JFK, and Born on the Fourth of July has created this film. It is filled with intensity and great football action. It's worth a watch, but far from what Oliver Stone usually makes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Oliver Stone Almost Ruins This One...
Review: "Any Given Sunday" had all the potential to be the best football action flick to date. A stellar cast, great script, and capable director. While the movie was still very enjoyable, it still came up short in the realized potential catagory.

The cast is the true strength of this movie. Obviously Pacino is excellent as the "coach on the bubble" who is struggling to hold his team and his life together at the same time. Cameron Diaz is given her first opportunity to show that she can ACT in this movie, and she plays the role perfectly. Even Jamie Foxx comes through as the "new style" athlete who rules through hype and personality more than anything else. Dennis Quaid is his usual reliable self as a "Marino/Young" who is nearing the end of a fantastic career.

The downside to the film is the artsy-fartsy filming techniques used during the action scenes. If you love football and hate headaches both as much as I do, then you will probably be irritated too. You can't make out anything in the blurry, fast-moving style that Stone chose to film in, and big headaches are the only result. Now I'm not Stone bashing, but I just think it really took away form the potential of the movie.

Otherwise, it's an engaging script with a cleaver ending. Probably will appeal to sports fans more than anyone else, but it's still a good football movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Any Given Sunday
Review: Very Good movie. Feel the action and the pain. Good ensamble cast - Foxx steps into the spot light and shows why he is an up-and-comer. Another quality Stone pic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Any Given Sunday" is the best sports film since...never!
Review: "Any Given Sunday", starring Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz, directed by Oliver Stone, is possibly THE best sports film EVER! The film follows a football team, losing, that discovers its star football player through getting one injured. Much of the film is in the background of the players' lives between games, but the football games are perhaps the most exciting I've ever seen! I prefer this movie to ANYONE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FINALLY!
Review: Definitely the greatest football movie ever, one of my MOST FAVORITE movies ever! Could hardly wait for the DVD --!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oliver Stone's Football epic is....
Review: This movie is a must for all football fans. Oliver Stone's Football epic grabs you by the throat and puts you right in the middle of the action. This movie has it all: great performance, compelling plot and hard-core football action. It stars Al Pacino as the head coach, Cameron Diaz as the teams owner and Jamie Foxx as the hotshot quarterback. Give this movie a shoot, it won't disappoint.
