What football is all about...

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 1999)

This movie by Oliver Stone takes off exactly where movies Varsity Blues ends. It deals directly and solely with the inner workings of what football is at it's core. FOOTBALL. This movie is football, everything football was and has become. Excellent camera work. Excellent choreography (especially the football scenes in terms or realism,) Great Script. Oscar worthy sound. Pacino, Quaid, Diaz, Woods, LLCool J, Foxx, L. Taylor all give noteworthy performances. The structure of the movie is extremely long. Be prepared for classic Oliver Stone fancy camera work on the lengthy football field scenes. Thankfully this does not distract from the movie experience in my opinion. Movie buffs and football fans should be prepared to walk out of the theater entranced.
