An Honest Review
27 November 2016
This movie is hot.

Behind the scenes Football extravaganza! There isn't much more to say that that...but it has to be at least 10 lines long so.

In Typical Oliver Stone fashion, the movie has cast ALL of Hollywood and James Woods. So, in typical Oliver Stone fashion, even the bit parts have A-list actors bringing their A games to the field. So you can't fault the movie for pro talent.

Most ALL of Stone's movies have that heavy handed acting.

It almost feels like you haven't got acting credentials unless you've played a role in an Oliver Stone film. If you make it onto that honored list of cameos than you're a real actor.

So you have that going for you.

And if you are a football fan...and there are painfully few enjoyable football movies..."Any Given Sunday" has all the references you'd ever want, both to the real life and most of the boring football films that came before it.

Baseball has all the really good movies doesn't it? Speaking of which I need to review the greatest sports movie ever made. That's right, "Bull Durham." You know Stone loves controversy when he casts a sports movie and leaves out Kevin Costner.

Ramble, ramble, ramble and what you have here is a review of a movie that could be best titled: "Clash of the Egos" Some guys are team players and some guys aren't and you'll find out who is who on Any Given Sunday.

Really, there are characters here that predicted the modern age of football where people on a losing team will dance over the slightest play.

And that should be ten lines. Watch it, it's awesome
