The Second Best Football Movie

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 1999)

Well, no football movie has ever topped "North Dallas Forty," but Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday" comes pretty close. We don't see Nick Nolte with his beer for breakfast in this one, but we do get some pretty good performances from the cast.
At 170 minutes, I wanted the movie to CONTINUE!!! It wasn't your typical dragging three-hour movie like "Heat" or "The Thin Red Line." Minus the two Godfather movies (I refuse to acknowledge The Godfather III as a movie), this is one of the best movies pushing 3 hours I've seen.

I went into this movie not knowing that to expect because I cannot stand Oliver Stone's movies. In my opinion, they're all garbage. "Natural Born Killers" was an absoulte waste of two hours. "JFK" and "Nixon" were all his sick and twisted history. But with "Any Given Sunday," Mr. Stone has made a film that I thorougly enjoyed. Grade: B+
