An excellent sports movie.

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2000)

Oliver Stone's usage of "in your face" photography and realistic play action make this a unique movie. It shows pro football for what it is - a money fueled vehicle with little regard for the human being. If you are at all a follower of pro sports, this is the movie for you, if not then pass and see Waiting to Exhale. Al Pacino is a bit over-the-top as the Sharks' coach, but his performance is still excellent, and Jamie Foxx is also good as the young QB. A bit long at 3 hours, but still a fine movie.
