It seems that many people dislike this movie and I can see why. First of all it shows that professional athletes are far away from being perfect. A lot farther than we would like to believe. The movie shows that many... Full review

To think that everything that happened in this movie has indeed happened in real life pro football is believable. To think it happened to one team in one season is absurd. Here's a list that merely touches on the over the... Full review

Has Al Pacino given one quality performance since Dog Day Afternoon? (Colonel "Whoo-Haa" doesn't cut it). If this movie is any indication, it's long past time to retire his jersey. Awful script, lame direction, completely unbelievable performances. And I didn't expect... Full review

This movie sucks. The background noise is too loud. You can barely hear the actors speak. It doesn’t really matter since the dialog is all clichés. The football uniforms are ugly and they don’t even follow the rules of football. Everyone... Full review

Any Given Sunday is another attempt by Oliver Stone, whose movies either turn out to be stupendous, or stupid, nothing in between. This one is one of his good ones. Partly because of Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz's good performances, and... Full review

I don’t like football, so I’d take a superior football movie to enthrall me. Any Given Sunday is a stellar ensemble cast, and a through line that pulses through the movie. From start to finish it was worth every minute. Al... Full review

fixing this film's problems would be a lot like leading the begrudged horse to its trough.....Stripped down to its bare essentials, this is a good story, one totally unexpected from director Stone..... ... Full Review

James Woods is dynamite as the team doctor who understands much better than conscientious assistant medico Matthew Modine what it's all about.
There's the ageing star (Dennis Quaid) whose money hungry wife wants him to keep playing no matter the risks; the replacement quarterback (Jamie Foxx) who leaps from nowhere to stardom and the old school coach (Al Pacino) who's desperately attempting to halt the team's losing streak.

It looks like a logistical nightmare but Stone and his terrific cast pull it off magnificently.
There's no such thing as a boring Oliver Stone film.
In the end, it is the characters themselves who fail to offer much hope.

The team doctor (James Woods) is unethical.
Pacino, Foxx , Taylor and L.L were superb.

As drama, it's dead in the water;....It was, admittedly, a relief to see him just settle down and have fun with a movie....a king-hell Guy Movie (they should pump aftershave fumes into the theater to make the experience complete), where men are men and women are either scolds, whores, or bitches.....Stone jacks up the fake excitement with lots of punishing techno and rock-rap music.... ...
