Any Given Sunday Reviews
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Stone's hilariously broad and belabored critique of American sports culture ...
Full Review | Original Score: 74/100
The film is restless to the point of distraction, and the audio is so pumped up that about a third of the dialogue is unintelligible.

This COULD have been that one awesome pro football movie we've been waiting for.

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.

Any Given Sunday is merely a routine movie wrapped in an epic's clothing.

Never has so much talent been wasted in such cinematic chaos.
Cinema em Cena
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.

...it's hard to tell if Stone was making a serious sports movie here or a parody of a sports movie.

Probably the most predictable -- and blatantly commercial -- movie [Oliver Stone's] ever directed.

San Francisco Examiner
A football epic on performance enhancers that may be more flagrantly flawed, more shockingly predictable and just plain cornier than its rickety predecessors.
Stone's latest isn't his worst, but it's still a mess.
Stone never simply make a point when he can make it 50 times with a hammer to the forehead.
Any Given Sunday makes a lot of noise, but to little effect.
The sensation we get from the blizzard of images and teeth-jarring sound effects is of having our head used as the football.
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 movie of laughably bad proportions, shot with extensive graininess, and directed at an unforgivably slow pace.

It's super revved up, high-intensity tedium all right, but tedium nonetheless.
