At This Point The Director Attempted an 'Artsy' Sort of Shot

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 1999)

Don't get me wrong here. This movie is definitely worth seeing..but good god save me from the artsy crap that Oliver Stone filled this movie with. I mean really..Shots of lightning arcing from the sky while the Quarterback and the Coach sit at a table eating Gumbo? The Ben Hur chariot sequence? Please! Just show the movie!
Oh..and I don't know about you, but I am really getting sick of the "Let's attach the camera to the shoelaces of the Offensive Tackle and see what kind of shots we can get" school of cinematography. Some of the game sequences are impossible to follow and give you a serious headache.
Still. It's worth the cost of admission. Pacino is the man.
