Four years ago, DAmato's (Al Pacino) Miami Sharks were at the top. Now, his team is struggling with three consecutive losses, sliding attendance, and aging heroes, particularly 39-year-old quarterback Jack Cap Rooney (Dennis Quaid). Off the field, DAmato is struggling with a failed marriage and estranged children, and is on a collision course with Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), the young president/co-owner of the Sharks organization.

3/5
Stone's blend of mayhem and sensuality-which doesn't shy away from the eroticism of athletes-is a refreshing alternative to the solemnity of most sports dramas. Go to Full Review
Richard Schickel TIME Magazine 08/22/2008
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. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone 6d Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 Dec 3 Success in 02 hours, 37 minutes, and 15 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more Daniel S Nov 22 A Calm Documentary About Totally Stable Men It is peak Oliver Stone energy, loud, intense, and straight-up addictive. From the jump, it delivers pure sports-movie spectacle that keeps even casual viewers locked in. Yeah, it plays with familiar football clichés, but the raw passion poured in by Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Dennis Quaid, and LL Cool J levels everything up. Their performances go hard, pushing the film beyond basic locker-room drama into something that feels fierce and emotionally charged. Even with its long runtime dragging a bit, the movie still holds strong as a top-tier escape packed with adrenaline, ego, and gritty realism. Stone blends ambition, chaos, and testosterone-fueled tension into a wild ride that feels both over-the-top and oddly powerful. There’s even an infamous locker room confrontation that’s become legendary for its shock value and boldness - the kind of scene you don’t forget anytime soon. In the end, Any Given Sunday isn’t just about football, it’s about power, pride, pressure, and the brutal cost of chasing glory. Fast, ferocious, and messy in the best way, it’s a sports drama that hits hard and doesn’t apologize for it. See more Maddox G @maddoxblade Aug 21 Absolutely spectacular sports drama that is rare compared to the other popular sports movies, most of which are comedies. This shows the surreality of a young quarterback replacing an older quarterback and the drama and the intricate dynamics in running a football franchise. See more Mike b Aug 19 If you’ve come for Pacinos speech at the end fine, but the rest of this on revisiting years after my first watch is a narrative mess. There are some reasonable performances turned in but the characters all have the character drive of a coked up after party. Character development is a flip of a coin in any given scene until the inevitable “now we learn how to win together moments”. It’s thrown about with cliche drugs and violence with no respect to the realism of the sport. The most credit you can give it is drawing attention to concussions before the NFL ever did. If you want some popcorn with handheld camera work that’s both shaken and stirred, enjoy yourself. But I’d recommend this one as a background film at a tailgater at best. See more Read all reviews
