This gritty look at real life as a professional football player engages rhe audience into the horrors these athletes subject themselves to for our amusement. Great script, amazing actors, and thrilling action. Great movie, and at $3.99 you should give it a try if you've never seen it.

If you like football you’ll love this movie with keanu!

Very entertaining. Not to be missed. Would recommend it to everyone.

Al Pacino as the coach of a team full of miscreants and second stringers trying to make the playoffs. Old school look at inside football, pre CTE era.

Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday is now 15 years old and this newly released Special Edition Blu-ray just bleeds off the screen. Featuring a supremely aggressive audio/visual package, this is totally-in-your-face filmmaking at all times. Hurtling, stylized, frenzied cinematography from Salvatore Totino that shakes the senses. The hyperactive yet still lucid editing is in perfect tandem with the over the top subject material and everything is played at just the right tone and pitch. The eclectic musical score compliments every wild and crazy scene. Al Pacino is at his Shouting-Mad best here, and he gets some seriously good dialogue from John Logan and Stone; his “inches” locker room speech is one for the ages. Stone brought major directorial intensity to each and every scene in this scathing indictment of professional football; in retrospect this film feels very ahead of its time. The cold, cynical message this film purveys is still relevant and topical. The absurdly deep cast all deliver deeply committed performances; standouts are an icy Cameron Diaz, a perfectly weathered Dennis Quaid, sleazy James Woods pushing pain killers on the players, and of course, the flashy and confident work of then-acting-newcomer Jamie Foxx, who holds his own with all of the veteran actors, and does a lot on his own with his arrogant, show-boating character. The sequence where he has dinner with Pacino and the chariot race from Ben-Hur is playing in the background is still one of my favorite scenes in any film. And let’s not forget about the in-credits stinger – so nasty! Great football action, sharp satire, fantastic visuals, and dynamite sound design help make this one of the best sports movies of all time.

One of the all time great sports movie. Can't go wrong with this one

Great football movie. Enjoyed it so much that this was a gift.

Was able to get this in store for $4. Such a great deal for such a classic movie. It pays to check the bins!
