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
. 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.
