Any Given Sunday (1999)

Synopsis: A football coach has to put his team back on the winning track, after a series of defeats; the captain gets injured and is replaced by a talented but individualistic player.
Appraisal: Not too different from other films about football; exuberant in color and camerawork, and also in the vigor of the acting performances; it features entertaining violence, while displaying some watchable drama. Possibly a triumph of style over substance. I don't know much about the sport and its rules anyway, so I watched it more as a sensorial experience, and it was not bad as such.
Rating: 56
