This IS hard hitting action

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 1999)

Any Given Sunday is a behind the scenes look at the light and dark sides of pro football. This is one of the best 2 1/2 hour movies I have ever seen. It is the best football movie I have ever seen. All the action and acting is great. I never got bored with the characters, but I wish that James Woods would have gotten more screen time. The football scenes are well done, and you really get a feel for what it would be like out on the field. Go see this movie, and if you play football, you will really get a feel for what message this movie is sending. Keep an eye out for various cameos, but watch out for the post-game locker room scenes. Some are quite unpleasant, to say the least. Any Given Sunday combines great action with great acting, and it pulls it off so well, you will really think you are watching the real thing. Go see it.
