predictable but worth the watch

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2006)

This film is about an American football player becoming a sports adviser after a career ending injury on his leg. He became successful but he was dragged into a turmoil of emotions afterwards.
The film was two hours long but I did not feel it was two hours long. Matthew McConaughey did a good job as a sports adviser, going through highs and lows in his score predictions. He played the emotions well, which showed that he could do more than just romantic comedies. Al Pacino was also great, his intensity and ferocity for his role was palpable.
Though the plot was predictable, it was still worth the watch.
