Movie Info
Oliver Stone takes on professional football, a sport whose grace and delicacy are a good match for his filmmaking style. Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino), the head coach of the Miami Sharks, won back-to-back championships four years ago. But new team owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) has little enthusiasm for the finer points of the game and is concerned only with the bottom line. The longtime strongman of Tony's team has been "Cap" Rooney (Dennis Quaid), a 39-year-old quarterback, but Christina

Almost three hours of this jitter deteriorates from bravura filmmaking to annoying mannerism, and Any Given Sunday ends up less than the sum of its many, often interesting parts.
A meathead burlesque.
Choc-a-bloc with manly blather about sacrifice and honour and rugged individuals pulling together for the greater glory of the team.
There's no shortage of color and vigor in this pumped-up movie.
A frequently entertaining, rah-rah look at pro football.
Rousing, entertaining.
Stone isn't interested in merely bashing modern football: Any Given Sunday looks at the best and worst of the sport. [Blu-ray]
The best parts about Any Given Sunday are the hits. The second-best parts are the hits. (Blu-ray Edition)
...it's hard to tell if Stone was making a serious sports movie here or a parody of a sports movie.
Hit and miss, certainly, but intense stuff.
You'd have to be a very undiscriminating football die-hard to get anything out of it.
With few surprises and little to say in this film, it is unclear why Oliver Stone was interested in making it in the first place.
Stone's hilariously broad and belabored critique of American sports culture ...
This isn't the best film by Oliver Stone, but it is a first-rate job nonetheless.
Os excessos visuais de Stone (tão bem utilizados em seus trabalhos anteriores) e o fraco terceiro ato, mais conveniente do que o apropriado, comprometem o resultado final.
Loud, long and exhausting.
Audience Reviews for Any Given Sunday
Super Reviewer
-
- Tony D'Amato: I yell a lot. Is that acting? Is that good enough?
-
- The Commissioner: [of Christina Pagniacci] I honestly believe that woman would eat her own young.
-
- Tony D'Amato: That's what a leader's about; sacrifice. The times he's gotta sacrifice because he's gotta lead, by example. Not by fear and not by self-pity.
-
- Tony D'Amato: On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is, can you win or lose like a man?
-
- Tony D'Amato: You find out life's this game of inches, so is football.
