Any Given Sunday

Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2008)

The most realistic sports film that has ever been made, Any Given Sunday is an amazing drama flick. It tells the story about a back up quarterback who finally gets his start in the NFL. He begins to do exceptional, but with his new found wealth and fame his head gets bigger and his own team mates turn against him. Oliver Stone wanted to show the other side of professional sports to people, in a world of players being glorified there is drugs, fights and the greed for money and success. The story is great because it shows some players individual problems with money and family. Even the head coach played by Al Pachino has his difficulties with his family and friends, although he has all the money he needs he's not necessarily happy. The main character Jamie Foxx who plays the quarterback that has a passion and greed for fame, but can't look pass himself to realize football is not a single man sport. All of these problems brought together on a team really blows up on screen and it is spectacular to watch. Some of the best acting in this film along with the realistic football hits and highlights. Perfect film from beginning to end.
