Straight up good

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2003)

I know Oliver Stone is a great director but for me this seems like a strange step from politics into the world of cold finance and sport. None the less, this is one of the best sport movies ever to come out of the US. The big surprise for me in this visual masterpieces, is perhaps the comedian Jamie Foxx, I know him from his show, and heard a few songs, but he surprised with his very convincing acting. I have the feeling this probably is one of a couple of times we'll see him act so convincing but I hope he chooses his other films as well, so we'll see him some more.
The best scenes of the film is during the matches when the camera shakes like hell, something i'm sure is borrowed from a Kubrick movie I think it's "Path of Glory".
8/10
