Just got back from seeing this movie.

****ing terrible. I like Costner, and he's not the reason why this movie was terrible.

This movie was for someone that knew absolutely nothing about the NFL. Might as well been targeted to a bunch of women, a lot like what SNR said.

They did one thing right though. In the movie, the people (front office) for the Chiefs called in about acquiring a draft day trade for someone else's QB LMAO. I mean they hit the ****ing nail on the head on that one, almost wondered if they purposely did that in order to keep the movie at least somewhat accurate.

But overall this was very poorly scripted for those who follow the game esp. The dialogue was horrible. And what happens as far as draft trades go....this would only happen in Madden on PS2. I mean what happened in this movie as far as trades makes the RG3 draft day trade look like peanuts. It was ridiculous. Worse than the Ricky Williams trade I'll just leave it at that.

It was corporate manufactured regurgitated propaganda garbage spewed out by the NFL right before draft day.

For the love of god.....Netflix this. Don't waste your money.


one more thing (edit)

I'm acutally surprised they didn't trash on CLE as much as they did to the Jags and Bills....my lord. The movie had the Jags GM play like a guy who just didn't know wtf he was doing or why he was even there, and looked like a deer in the headlights.

I might watch it when it gets to USA channel or something. It sounds stupid it me. Kind of like that Kevin Spacey movie about the 2008 Wall Street melt down.

Oh, I went in knowing this would be bad. I just had hopes I would have been better entertained. The first half of the movie was boring, and the second half was all these poorly-formed story lines trying to resolve in stupid and arbitrary ways around completely unrealistic shit that never happens in an NFL draft situation.

Along the way I hoped maybe Costner would be preaching some entertaining platitude about offensive linemen to his scouts, or maybe Denis Leary would act like a buffoon and get in a fight over personnel strategies. Like the whole pass rusher vs. RB thing. That was there for 2 seconds. I would have been entertained by an argument between the two about that, no matter how stupid or cliched it could have been. But that never happened. It was just Costner talking about his relationship with his squeeze, and grumbling around about how he knows the Andrew Luck QB is actually a bust.

I guess I was hoping it would be bad in a good way. But no. It was bad in a bad way.

This is the first movie I have ever walked out on. Terrible from top to bottom. My God, it was so much worse than I thought possible. What the **** happened to Ivan Reitman?

RealSNR 04-12-2014 07:25 PM

CoMoChief 04-12-2014 09:31 PM

lol. im not sure it was walk out bad, but it was damn close...and to be honest I can't say i blame you for leaving. it was garbage.

CoMoChief 04-12-2014 09:33 PM

Still laughing over the fact that even in the damn movie, the Chiefs front office is inquiring about trading picks for some other team's vet QB. LMAO

That was literally one of the few real things about that movie.

Pasta Little Brioni 04-12-2014 09:37 PM

Sucking off the Cowboys made it that much worse though

I enjoyed it but you can wait for HBO

Looks like trash and the reviews don't inspire me to run out and watch it.

About 40 minutes. I can sit through almost anything. This POS was just insulting in every scene. I can be a bit of a film snob, but I can usually find some silver lining to appreciate. Not here.

That 2008 movie wasn't that terrible. I mean, I'm not watching it again , but there were parts that were decent. That movie LOOKS better than this one and if the reviews are right then it's not close.
