Reviews

Baltimore Sun
A kinetically charged gridiron drama that is enormous fun to watch.

USA Today
Though there are helmets deeper than this movie, you do have to admire the level of screen showmanship .

Philadelphia Inquirer
A turbocharged and pungently enjoyable take on the sport so many observers see - Stone, of course, included - as a reflection of the darker side of American life.
75
Features convincing, often soaring, performances by a savvy cast that must have gotten adrenaline shots administered by Stone himself.

Portland Oregonian
Though intermittently entertaining, it's too long and rarely insightful in new or meaningful ways.
