tommy J 6d A pretty boring movie. A star studded cast of familar faces, interesting subject matter, seems like a huge waste to do a movoe over the Browns... maybe do it over the Cowboys when they traded herschel walker in 1989 for picks they won the superbowl with the very next season and created a dynasty.

Some of the real life trading in players like commodities is not far off. Lots of twists, action, intrigue, suspense and drama. Good cinematography and manages to capture the narrative quite effectively See more Corey R @Battaglia173 Apr 11 Pretty lame movie, and yet somehow I wanted to finish it. It seems like whoever wrote it wanted it to be a gritty, "Ballers" realistic style movie with hard nosed businessmen trading in flesh for high stakes under the biggest spotlight, but it ended up feeling like a VERY PG-13 compromise. I guess that was necessary if it were to be done with a Roger Goodell cameo and the NFL's blessing. It's also a touch off-putting to see Jennifer Garner's by this time increasingly "worked on" face struggling to emote. The whole thing felt like a bowling game with bumpers on.

It did a great job capturing the twists, turns, and overall vibe of a real draft day. **Spoilers below** That said, the NFL fan in me couldn’t help but cringe at some of the decisions made by these managers. Trading everything for the first pick, only to draft a player who was considered a middle-rounder on draft day? And then there’s the Seahawks (in the movie), who land three first-round picks in exchange for the top pick, only to trade them all back to the same team—and had to throw in another player—when that hyped prospect, Bo Callahan, was dropping so much? It just doesn’t add up. Callahan's value was tanking hard, and especially knowing Cleveland didn’t want him (if they did, they would have taken him at #1), the Seahawks should’ve had all the leverage. (And asking for a kick returner in the deal as if that’s some sort of blue-chip asset?) I can’t see any GM making such a dumb move just because the fans are grumpy. The logic is definitely off. That said, it was still fun, intriguing, and the acting was great. See more Read all reviews
