A movie only enjoyed by die hard NFL fans.

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2015)

Even for a Sunday evening, you still have to do your homework before choosing a movie to watch, and I didn't. My bad! Draft Day may be interesting for die hard NFL fans, but for a European boy like me, it felt like a bit of a torture. I kept asking myself "why am I watching this movie?" approximately every 5 minutes. But once I start a movie, I stick to it.
However, and beyond the fact that I don't know much about the NFL, I really felt that the movie had zero tension, no matter how much they were trying to create it with constant back and forth phone calls between protagonists. Furthermore, even though it's his most important day of the year, Kevin Costner has to deal with his pregnant girlfriend and an annoying mother who thinks that Draft day is the best moment to solve family issues.
On the positive side, the last 10 minutes lift up the movie a little. Still not enough for me to consider this memorable by any means. So once again, if you're an NFL fan you could potentially find some interest for this movie, but if that's not the case, go for something else.
