My Eyes! My Eyes!

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 1999)

While "Any Given Sunday" certainly has its merits, especially in the acting and the soundtrack, Oliver Stone once again has gone with the "Too much is never enough" philosophy. Oliver, have you ever heard of a still, wide-angle shot? Have you ever heard of letting the actors act, instead of turning a scene into twelve edits over three lines? This being said, Stone certainly does show us the power that the game of football glorifies. While the ending is predictable, and the characters seem to resolve differences too easily, and there is not one female character that is redeeming, I still found myself caught up in the film, and willing to forgive its foibles.
