HARD HITTING/FAST ACTION/EXPLOSIVE SOUND

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 1999)

Oliver Stone has taken another turn in his interesting career with ANY GIVEN SUNDAY. The film explodes on the screen, and proceeds with mortars and grenades throughout. The action is fast. The sound is monstrous. The acting is as big as the characters require. Pacino fills the screen, but don't look too far past Lawrence Taylor and LL Cool J and others for some fine performances. This is a football fan's movie. It is also a film lover's movie. And if you like Oliver Stone, you'll enjoy his latest effort at filling the screen.
