Migraine Headache Movie That Could Have Only Been Made by Oliver Stone

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2001)

My goodness, "Any Given Sunday" is like a lethal narcotic shot of a movie that will just about kill the normal viewer. It runs an amazing 164 minutes and is just as wild and chaotic as "Natural Born Killers". Stone tries to examine professional football teams by showing how fast and out-of-control the lifestyle of those involved are. However instead of providing any drama or a real message, Stone goes for style over substance and ends up creating a movie that is little more than a nauseating sequence of crazy camera shots. The cast is adequate, but is totally wasted due to Stone's overbearing, in-your-face style. Overall a film, like "Natural Born Killers", that only the greatest Oliver Stone fans will get anything out of other than a severe migraine headache. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
