:- Oliver Stone
Although professional football provides the action-packed backdrop of Any Given Sunday, the film takes a simultaneously epic and intimate look at the men and women who comprise the milieu of the film, from the modern-day gladiators of the gridiron, their coaches and often beleaguered families, to the moneyed team owners and business concerns who attempt to control the game as big business, to the hungry sports media, and hangers-on trying to get a taste of the glamour. (Taken from Dark Horizons)
This is a film, which I didn't expect much from, until I saw the trailer. Everyone looks good in it. Quaid and Fox suit their roles well, as both characters play the same roel in the team, but completely different ways. Whereas Quaid seems venerable, Fox seems arrogant. Diaz looks excellent as the fearful owner of the ailing team, a role which reallly does highlight her acting abilities. And even Pacino's well known "over the top" acting seems suited to this movie. Overall it should be a critically good movie, but probably won't be a blockbuster.
If you have any reviews of this movie, please and I'll include it on this page.
