Awesome Movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2000)

I really enjoyed Any given sunday. i thought that it portrayed the world of football very realisticly and it showed how that people in charge of sports teams in general sometimes have differences of opinion and most of the time those opinions clash.
Any given Sunday begins during a game when the sharks star quarter back(who is on the verge on retirement) is injured during a game. after this tony damato, the head coach, sends another player in who is also injured. next he sends in willie Beaman, who throws up everytime he is brought out on the field. At first willie is rusty but in future games he becomes better and he even becomes extremely cocky. so cocky in fact that when the teams are in huttles he changes the plays. Tony doesn't like willie disobedient attitude but, christine, the owner of the team doesn't care how you win as long as you win, her nature of winning soon clashes with tony's more traditional ways and soon everyone is at each other's necks.
even though this film is really long your nver bored with the film. The football action is wonderfully directed by oliver stone. the football scenes are very intense and as a director he succeeds in making all of them intense.
The acting is good from everyone on board. Al pacino is excellent as the head coach. he's a very intense actor and he can make the most out of every scene he's in cameron Diaz is the big surprise among the cast. as the teams owner, cameron diaz, bites down into this role with fury she is very good at playing it mean and bitchy. you can tell she was having fun with the role. jamie foxx proves that he can do more than just comedy. he is very good in the role and also a big surprise amongst the cast because he also turns in a very nice performance. LL Cool J has become a great actor as well. he is great in this and i'm glad he's doing good in his films.
All in all a good movie and very entertaining. B+
