Willie sees success on the field of scrimmage, which immediately goes to his head, causing conflicts with both Coach D Amato and the rest of the team. Sure, some aspects of the plot are pure soap opera, but Oliver Stone s stylish storytelling keeps one riveted to their seat for the film s entire 157 minute running time. Cameron Diaz shows that she has the acting chops to handle a role some meat on it. I was very impressed with Jamie Foxx, who shows with this film, that he can do a whole lot more than just make people laugh. The image on this DVD is pretty much reference quality, with everything appearing sharp, well defined and hyper-realistic.
Flesh tones are very appealing, which perfectly complements the rest of the vibrant colors.
Warmer hues are especially well rendered, although the lush greens of the turf do appear very realistic. There are no traces of chromatic distortion or bleeding in this excellent presentation. Blacks are solid and very deep, plus the picture possesses superb depth and shadow detail. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is every bit the equal of the DVD s impressive visuals. This soundtrack is both aggressive and completely enveloping.
