Paints a true picture!

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2001)

I think Oliver Stone has come up with the goods with this movie. It shows the way that pro sport is going (especially in the USA). Sportsmen, obsessed with commercials, sponsorship and their profile rather than the actual sport itself. Pacino is raw and brilliant as usual....Diaz is nothing like the characters she usually plays in movies and Dennis Quaid is also superb as the ageing pro. We could have done without a few scenes but all in all.......Stone paints a picture of a soulless, money and image obsessed sport!
