a film to enjoy even for the non football fanatic

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2000)

The movie was very enjoyable, Al Pacino was back to his reliable acting style. His performance alone makes this film watchable. We don'tget to see any American football in New Zealand but i was attraced by the heavyweight cast. The supporting actors put this movie over for me. Ifelt that James Woods was wasted and so was Ann-Margret. It was fantastic to see Charlton Heston in a small but showy role as Comissioner.
Oliver Stone directing style can be jarring sometimes and even a little hectic but the script gave Pacino some fantastic lines to say in speeches.
The biggest surprise of all was the performance of Cameron Diaz. She has always come across as one note. In this role she brought depth and and a freshness.She gave as good as she got from Pacino.
Best scene: The Al Pacino/James Woods confrontation
*** out of ****
