United Kingdom	Clark Collis Empire	"Despite the film's multifarious faults there can be no argument that this is one of the most visually exciting experiences you will have this year (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The movie alternates sharp and observant dramatic scenes with MTV-style montages and incomprehensible sports footage. It's a miracle the underlying story survives, but it does (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Despite a potentially engaging story and a number of good performances, is at times unwatchable (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"A rambunctious, hyperkinetic, testosterone-and-adrenaline-drenched look at that American obsession known as professional football"	POS
United States	Mike Clark USA Today	"Though there are helmets deeper than this movie, you do have to admire the level of screen showmanship"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"For much of the movie, the kinetic furor of the game sequences helps camouflage the weaknesses of a screenplay that is a mechanically contrived series of power struggles."	NEG
United States	Peter Stack SFGATE	"[It] leaves an aftertaste of gloom about the essential inhumanity of the game, as well as the cold hearts of people who feed off it."	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"A testosterone- and cliché-fueled epic"	NEU
United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"There's scarcely a scene in which the actors, action and sound track aren't cranked up to maximum intensity."	POS
