Doesn't Get Any Better Than This..

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 1999)

Before Any Given Sunday, my favorite football movie was The Program, which I thought was bone-crunching excitement, but now that I've seen A.G.S., the Program looks more like a Pop Warner take on the gridiron. Oliver Stone takes you straight into the action, and it never lets up. When I caught the trailer before Three Kings, I knew this was the movie to see. The best thing about this movie is Al Pacino, who uses all his bravura to bring to life a role that was tailor made for his over the top excitement. Any Given Sunday is the movie all football fans have been waiting for. The only thing that bugs me is that it didn't use NFL teams, which I had earlier heard were going to be involved. But it doesn't take away from any of the excitement, which is aplenty. Go see it again and again and again.
