So did anyone see this yet?
Great point. I think Costner gets some pretty bad rep based on accents more than anything else. Waterworld was a flop, and at the time, the movie got ALLL this press for how much money was being spent. Wasn't really HIS fault for how bad the movie was.
Idk, I just don't think of him as a bad actor. He played a great character in all the movies I listed, and those were good movies.
However, I did (at one time) believe that Matthew Mcconaughey was a bad actor, and although he was in some good movies (A Time to Kill, Lincol Lawyer, How to lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Lincoln Lawyer). He's changed my mind since Mud, as I believe he's grown to a good actor.

It's funny, you know who's a boring actor that people seem to like a lot lately as some kind of "action hero?" Liam Neeson. That guy's tone of voice never changes. Now I have really liked a couple of his movies. Shindler's List at the top, and Taken was great. But other than that?

Point break is awesome. And Keanu is the One. So enough said.
I loved a "perfect world" and thought "waterworld" was better than Ok - did he not also do "the postman" - i might be wrong, but i think it was pure shite.
He has made some great movies, some turd ones as well and would never be in my top 5 actors list - all that said, i am quite looking forward to watching draft day

Good article about the movie. Sounds like its more Hollywood than realistic NFL stuff. A female salary cap manager, just so they could get a good looking woman into the movie,

They should've down the Colts instead of the Browns. Frank Langella bears a striking resemblance to Jim Irsay.

So I guess I am the first person on here to actually see the movie?
Ok, well here is what I thought:
In terms of the actual deals done and players picked, it wasn't really all that realistic But if you can suspend the disbelief there, it was actually pretty good. Good drama, good characters, and an interesting story. I give it a 7/10.
If anyone doesn't want anything spoiled stop here, but here were how the transactions/picks went down.
Heading into the draft, the Seahawks held the #1 pick and the Browns held the #7 pick. At the top of the draft was a franchise QB who everyone thought was the next Elway/Luck. The two players the Browns were looking at were a big time LB who seemed like a bit of a hothead and a RB whose dad was a former Browns great. You kinda find out through the movie that the QB has some issues arise and the LB turns out to be a pretty good dude who wants to play for Cleveland. All the draft experts expect that LB to slip though, and it's agreed that he would definitely be there for Cleveland.
The owner, however, is basically threatening to fire the GM if he doesn't make a splashy pick. So given this, he trades his next 3 #1 picks to seattle to move up to #1 for the QB. Once he does this though, he looks into the QB closer and thinks he is gonna wind up being a bust. So he winds up shocking everyone and taking the LB #1 that he could have gotten at 7. By passing on the QB though, teams start to panic because they think there must be a huge issue with him, so he starts sliding down the board. Once he gets down to 5 (a team that doesn't need a QB), the Browns trade up to 6 by trading their next 3 #2 picks. So now they have traded their #1 and #2 picks for the next 3 years. It's assumed they are going to take the QB there, but they know Seattle's fans were pissed off and rioting because they traded out of 1 and lost out on the QB, so they manage to get Seattle to trade up to 6 by giving their 3 #1 picks back AND a star kick returner. Cleveland then uses the #7 pick to take that RB whose dad was a Brown.
So basically, Seattle winds up LOSING a kick returner to drop from 1 to 6, which would pretty much get any GM fired. And Cleveland winds up trading 3 #2 picks for the #1 pick and a kick returner. So it turned from Seattle fleecing Cleveland to Cleveland fleecing Seattle even more. Like I said, not a very realistic sequence of events, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
My wife and I watched this movie last week. I had very low expectations, even thinking and expecting it to be awful...I had to see it though, as I absolutely love the NFL draft...even take a vacation day on the Friday of the draft.
Anyway, we BOTH loved the movie! Even my wife, who couldn't give less of a crap about the draft, loved this movie.
I would spend $ to go see it again...and one day I'm sure that I will own it.
