Any Given Movie
I wanted to like this film, I really did. It was about pro football, had Camereon Diaz in it and Al Pacino, but at the end of it, I still felt like I was the one that got juked by a head fake. The story unfolds around an emerging star quarterback and a coach trying to control him. Unfortunately, Diaz's character just seems to get in the way. Her insatiable quest for power feels fake and made me feel like she was just reciting lines. Pacino brings his usually intensity, but doesn't have any break out moments like he does in most of his films. While normally I'm not a huge fan of Oliver Stone's to begin with, I do think he had much better films then this. The movie leaves some loose ends and puts too much focus on one game instead of the dark sub-plots. For a serious look at the NFL, it was an OK film, but overall a pretty average experience.
