Oliver Stone shocker!

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2002)

I'm not sure what brought me to be watching a film about American Football. It's a silly sport that makes no logical sense.
Perhaps it's the benefits of late night satellite TV!
DeNiro was superb as the coach in this film, and the other benefit of course is the lovely Cameron Diaz.
It's well scripted, acted and directed [a surprise, given that it's Oliver Stone] and the interplay between the characters is both believable and enjoyable.
In the end it's a tale of people as ever, and not of Grid Iron, so it's actually well worth watching.
