Stone, for all his frenetic edginess, does a decent job of forging credible relationships among the leads -- though Quaid's QB uncharacteristically steps outside his persona to fuel the plot trappings. Foxx demonstrates a surprising range, and Pacino brilliantly toggles between tenacious warrior and beleaguered once-was. The ensemble supporting cast boasts a who's who of Hall of Famers including Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, and Johnny Unitas. Stone indulges too much of his nauseatingly grandiloquent editing style, which takes some of the zip off the gridiron action. But if Any Given Sunday isn't quite in the same league as North Dallas Forty or The Longest Yard, it's good pigskin entertainment. Be sure to stick around for the credits; that's when the film goes into OT and delivers the kicker.
