For my part I greatly enjoyed any given sunday, but is it for everyone? I dont think so,Pacino's acting was not up to his usual good standard it seemed that all his role called for was for him to shout at lots of people, cameron diaz was o.k though. the rest of the supporting actors (James Woods, Dennis Quaid, LL Cool J) were very good considering that for most of them there role's involved little more than hitting people hard and being hit hard. The special effects were very good and the plays on the field were excellent, the tension and excitement were from start to finish, but unless you're a die hard fan of american football then I dont think you'll stick with it long enough to enjoy the tension, it will also help if you have at least a basic understanding of the rules of American Football otherwise you may miss some of the drama whilst trying to work out what everyone on the field is shouting about. As far as the DVD version is concerned it has some interesting extra's including screen test and background into the making of the film. In summary: If you like American Football then you must own this Dvd, if not then there are far better films out there to spend your time and money on.

After reading so many the film is great ops - refreshing to find someone who thinks like me - I thought i had watched a completely different movie to everyone else!! To be honest i didn't even watch it throught to the end! Good op.

I've been considering renting this but wasn't sure as I'm not really into sports films. Thanks for the tip though, I'm a big NFL fan and am looking forward to seeing something that represents the inner workings of the game intellgently - only problem now is convincing my girlfriend. PS I rated this helpful, but would have made it v helpful if you'd put capitals at the beggining of sentences - I found it a bit hard to read.

Advantages: Storming cinematography, strong pace, great acting Disadvantages: might not like it as its about American Football, script a littel lacking compared to the other parts of the film
