Movie Reviews of Any Given Sunday (Special Edition Director's Cut) - Oliver Stone Collection
Movie Review: Awesome Football, Awesome Directing, Awesome Acting...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very entertaining movie on several different fronts. First, its about football, but this isn't your typical varsity blues like soppy dramatic silly-ness. This makes you feel like you're on the field with hard hitting, loud professional football. Oliver Stone lends his directorial prowess to turn an otherwise massively overdone genre into an outstanding movie. The camera work is incredible, and the editing is very well done. And the characters are larger than life, in a way that is believably realistic. In particular, Jamie Foxx's evolution from a timid and shy bench warmer to prima donna star is very well done, and is a particularly effective acting performance on his part. I tend to this of this movie as an important evolutionary role bridging him from his Booty Call days to his to come oscar-worthy performances.

Summary of Any Given Sunday (Special Edition Director's Cut) - Oliver Stone Collection
When a devastating hit knocks a professional football legend and quarterback cap rooney out of the game a young unknown third-stringer is called in to replace him. Willie beaman seizes what may be his last chance and lights up the field with a raw display of athletic prowess. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/27/2005 Starring: Al Pacino Jamie Foxx Run time: 157 minutes Rating: R Director: Oliver StoneAny Given Sunday, Oliver Stone's salute-cum-expos? of pro football, belabors some pretty obvious points for nigh onto three hours; but between the frenetic editing, the pounding rap-music beats, and several flashy performances, it's certainly never dull. Al Pacino, coach of the fictional Miami Sharks (the NFL declined involvement in this production), struggles with the most time-honored of sports movie dilemmas: what to do with the old friend who's past his prime and the young hotshot who could save the franchise but first has to learn what being a team player is all about. Comedian Jamie Foxx does a marvelous dramatic turn as the rookie quarterback whose ego and talent are equally impressive, while Pacino seems more at ease in Oliver Stone Land than any actor since regular James Woods (on hand as well as a sleazy team doctor). Prowling the sidelines, shouting spittle-flecked orders, seizing up in almost physical pain when a play goes the wrong way, Pacino is as unashamedly--and entertainingly--hyperbolic as Stone's whirling montages of boiling storm clouds, bloodthirsty fans, and players smashed into the mud. (Once again football, perhaps the most sophisticated of team sports, is viewed cinematically as a bunch of guys hitting each other in slow motion.) Unfortunately, all the self-conscious mythologizing and pumped-up macho posturing that Stone can muster doesn't conceal a clich?d, slapped-together script, whose few good ideas (mostly about race in America) jostle about with several hoary, terrible ones--including a too-literal analogy of football players as modern gladiators. (To drive the point home, Stone includes Charlton Heston--the aging Ben-Hur--in one of many star-powered cameos.) All in all, Any Given Sunday is never dull, but never very enjoyable, either. --Bruce Reid
