An Over Long Mess

Rating: 3/10 (25 December 1999)

The action in this movie is meaningless, there is no context. There are no surprises here unless you have never before seen a sports (any sport) movie. The changes in the characters are unbelievable given what supposedly motivates the changes. The middle is long and a bore. I only believed one character in the whole film and that was Lawrence Taylor's character. I was surprised and impressed by his acting. People should be warned that the story goes on into the credits. Some people missed the end at the showing I saw. James Woods, one of our finest film actors, was wasted in this movie.
