MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
adonis98-743-186503 At the NFL Draft, General Manager Sonny Weaver has the opportunity to rebuild his team when he trades for the number one pick. He must decide what he's willing to sacrifice on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with NFL dreams. Draft Day is definitely quite the sports film and stars Kevin Costner (The Bodyguard), Jennifer Garner (Daredevil) and Chadwick Boseman (Avengers: Infinity War). The movie is directed by Ivan Reitman (Kindergarten Cop, Twins, Junior, Ghostbusters I & II) and it was definitely way better than it gets credit for. The acting was really good, the dramatic aspect quite excellent and i even got sentimental at one point, definitely recommending it. (10/10)
joshb-98889 My favorite movie of all time! Sonny Weaver Jr. is the only person who could save the Browns too
ja-191-280465 Kevin Costner stars as Sonny Weaver Jr, the general manager of the Cleveland Browns. He recently lost his father whom he fired due to poor health and now he's getting ready to make an important decision that will shape the continuation of his career, and that's the choice for the number one pick. This proves to be a challenge since he is on the verge of being getting fired. Weaver proves to be the man for the job through his perseverance and tenacity. He manages his career with his personal life and although somewhat strained in the beginning, the love and kinship felt between them is adorable.Overall, the film starts off pretty strong letting you know why football is so important in Cleveland. With great acting and good dialogue, the movie definitely lives up to its name. Even if you're not a sports fan or a football fan, watching the movie makes you want to get into the game. "Draft Day" is a great sports drama that shows you why this particular day is important, In addition, the entire cast is great. However, its Kevin Costner who really stands out.He showed a great amount of depth and persuasiveness in his role. The film also includes cameos by Ellen Burstyn as Weaver's mother, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Terry Crews, Sam Elliot, Rosanna Arquette, chi Mcbride and Chadwick Boseman. For all sports lovers, don't miss the opportunity to catch this movie.
Dr_Sagan First of all don't confuse this for a "Sports" movie.It revolves around the NFL Draft, an annual event where the NFL managers are selecting players to their teams.It is a USA football thing, so if you are living in another continent, it is rather difficult to understand the rules and even more the point of this whole charade.About the rules is something of a Poker game. At least as it looks in this picture. The manager of team A is on the phone with the manager of team B and they talk things like "I am giving you 2 of my first picks of the second round to give me your first pick for the next 2 years..." and so on.Again, this is NOT about who wins a game or a trophy. This is merely about picking players whom you think they might be useful to your team. In the actual games they may proved to be bad choices, or injured or whatever, and despite being happy about your choices in the NFL draft, eventually to lose games and the season.Now as movie "Draft Day" is carefully designed.The direction and editing are trying to be "edgy" with unique split screen effects during the numerous phone-calls between the team managers. You can see for example Kevin Costner (who plays the lead role as an experienced yet unconventional manager) in a split screen walking into the other side of the frame where the manager of the other team is.The music has a certain triumphant feeling without being to much in your face and the whole production is carefully designed.I point that out because in this movie you have constantly the feeling that you are seeing great things taking place. Like every little decision is something that could change the world. But in reality all these "decisions" are something of a micromanagement. In the end and if you actually pay attention, what is happening and what the characters are talking about is totally uninteresting......and for the rest of the world, outside the US, confusing and pointless.
