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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2014

| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

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.

| Aug 22, 2008

A meathead burlesque.

| Jun 24, 2006

Choc-a-bloc with manly blather about sacrifice and honour and rugged individuals pulling together for the greater glory of the team.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2002

A flawed yet riveting journey into the heart of a corrupt America.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2001

Despite the film's multifarious faults, which also include a truly rotten cameo from Stone himself as a sports commentator, there can be no argument that this is one of the most visually exciting experiences you will have this year...

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 3, 2001

Any Given Sunday may fall on its face a few times during the game, but wouldn't you rather watch a team going recklessly for the touchdown than playing safely for time?

Full Review | Apr 17, 2001

Pretentious almost to the point of silliness.

In the end the movie cops out.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Performances are almost all shot through with electricity.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Any Given Sunday has the dubious distinction of being the very first football picture to treat the audience like it's the football.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A turbocharged and pungently enjoyable take on the sport.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A football epic on performance enhancers that may be more flagrantly flawed, more shockingly predictable and just plain cornier than its rickety predecessors.

| Jan 1, 2000

There's no shortage of color and vigor in this pumped-up movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Raucous, violent, in-your-face and occasionally advancing like a punch to the belly.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

I'm selling my shares in Dell and socking it all into Tylenol as soon as possible.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Bombastic, overblown and -- despite its many flaws -- compelling entertainment.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

One of the few football movies that really puts you in the action, conveying the ferocity and trauma of the game.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Sunday is the latest example of this year's worst movie trend, in which hyperstylist directors attempt to force their way through flawed, poorly developed stories by 'showing their stuff.'
