Any Given Sunday (1999)
Directed by Oliver
Stone this film stars Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid and Jamie
Foxx. A third choice quarter back gets his chance to start for an
American football team while the owner clashes with the coach.
It can be hard for
those of us outside the USA to follow the intricacies of films about
American sports at times but this film does a fairly good job of
translating the sport to film. The script does a good job of
considering the role of sportsmen in the modern game as well as the
finite and fragile nature of their careers. As with any Stone film
this is a well made film but at times the camera work does get a
little annoying but otherwise there is little to complain about.
5/5
