Any given Pacino ...

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2007)

Not really, but it's also not any movie we got here! It's again an Oliver Stone movie. So controversy is around the corner. Although not as edgy as some of his other offerings, this still shows his skills as storyteller.
It's doesn't hurt that he has great actors playing in the lead roles either. And while most people knew Pacino back then, no one could have anticipated that Jamie Foxx (of Booty Call fame, which I liked, but it's not exactly a movie you'd print top of your CV List! ;o) ) would turn out to be as good as he was ... At least no one from the movie going audience couldn't, I'm pretty sure that Stone knew what he had gotten himself into! Those are just the two top names, but when you read the name list here on IMDb you'll find many familiar names! (that is unless you are reading this in 100 years from now, you might not know anybody, but then again I'll probably won't be around for you to curse on me! ;o) I just realised that I didn't even mention yet, that this movie is about football. But then again it's about so much more than football ... Stone again criticizes anything/everything he can ... on top of that he has a really disgusting scene (I'm pretty sure you'll get your eye on it), not for any particular reason, but just 'cause he's Oliver Stone and he might wanted to remind you that!
Still as I said, something is still missing, so that I can't give it full 10 points. A good movie indeed! I hope you'll like it as much as I did!
