I’ve never paid attention to the NFL draft; never interested me. But I understand it – and all the backroom trading of rounds and picks involved – a little better after seeing this engaging film. The cast is good and natural – only Leary seems to be acting – and a ticking clock shows up every once in a while. And, if nothing else, it’s got the most innovative use of split screens I’ve ever seen. If you like football, you’ll like this film. If you hate Kevin Costner, you’ll hate this film because no one else is given anything to do.
