What a ripoff!

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2000)

For some misguided reason, I thought this movie would be something besides a cut-and-paste montage of football movie cliches. How wrong I was.
Most of the time, I can just forget about a bad movie a few minutes after viewing, but this one made me angry. The lack of originality, the sleep-walking performances by Reeves and Hackman, and stock characters that have been worn out by football movies from Semi-Tough to Any Given Sunday made me feel like a complete sucker for renting this one.

Some advice for Hollywood - no more football movies for ten years. By then, there should be some new material to mine. In the meantime, try curling, archery, synchronous swimming, equestrian or anything besides football!
