Lev S. gave it a9:
Great movie. Just lags a bit towards the end. I'm from Australia so I know nothing about NFL. But that doesn't matter, the story is remarkably poignant. Wonderful editing. Watch this movie. You may learn something.
King F. gave it a4:
The movie starts out with a bang, but falls apart toward the end due to too many plot threads, which leaves you with a lack of understanding of most, if not all, of the characters. It doesn't help that the football action plays more like Madden '06 than a real football game. And this is yet another Pacino performance that he just seems to be mailing in. That still means capability, but you expect more from Pacino than "capable".

The MTV style of editing made me sick. Even the football scenes were badly done.If not for the Blair Witch project this would be the worst movie of 99.
Kal gave it an8:
This is a great movie, it keeps you infront of the screen till the end of it..it's a good story and great actors.
Maxwell S. gave it a 9:
Incredibly complex with a dozen real characters who's emotion and depth smashes from the screen just as much as the hard hitting music and bone crushing football scenes. This is a true movie.
Jeremy gave it a 7:
Like many of the recent Oliver Stone films, his self-indulgence and tendancy to throw everything and the kitchen sick, when just the kitchen sink is needed, doesn't overshadow the strong material that provides the forefront.
Yoon C. gave it a 7:
An over-the-top Stone film about football that's notable for exploring the politics as well as the athletics of the sport. Stone exposes the professional sports world as one of excess, rage, delirium, and stampeding egos. It's a hormone pumped empire of tycoons and well-fed and groomed, overpriveleged stable beasts who however face annihilation thru self-destructive excess, the violent ruthlessness of the sport itself, and exploitation based on dog-eat-dog competition and racial bias. Often ugly and putrid, but always fascinating, on occasion even eloquent as satire and celebration of the American past-time. A classic? Maybe, maybe not but a victory of sorts.
