Any Given Sunday (1999)

Director Oliver Stone's movie about professional football. Stone fancies himself the cinematic chronicler of the foibles of post World War II America, and there are few things as American as professional football. However there are also few things of which I am less interested then professional football so this movie didn't really work for me. There is some good stuff in it, some good performances, some interesting scenes, it has things to say about its subject matter though nothing really that earth shaking. Mostly I found the film kind of boring and unpleasant, as much of it is about the egos of those in the world of professional football, the players, the coaches, the owners, the journalist, not really the fans thought, not in this movie. 2 hours and 42 minutes in length  so a little shorter then an NFL game, though both things are too long for my taste. **
