Because the movie is directed by Oliver Stone and includes Pacino in its cast, I'll admit, I expected a heck of a lot. None of my expectations, however, could prepare me for the thrill of seeing Any Given Sunday. Pacino commanded his character with the passion that only he can (see Scent of a Woman and you'll know what I'm talking about), and the rest of the cast - including many actors new to dramatic roles such as Jamie Foxx - also gave excellent performances. If there was a Best Cast category at the Oscars, these actors would certainly win the golden statuette.
Upon reflection, the film's plot wasn't very elaborate, but the characters have an immense ability to draw you into their world - and a great world it is. This movie didn't just make me think, it made me feel. That is not something I can say about most films.
This movie is perfect.
