Draft Day (2014)

Ok, ok, ok, stop it. I know than this movie is far from a masterpiece. Originally I even gave it a 6 based on overall quality. However, it is a movie than I could watch over and over again and I do not even watch football.I changed it because compared to other non-masterpiece than I can watch forever, I do not laugh at the movie but is actually immersed in. The acting can be goofy at time but give it a look, the pacing is great and if you don't like it, trust me I can totally understand, I just cannot not love it.

First of all, I am very disappointed with peoples reviews in here. People are reviewing it bad because, "it's not for people outside of America.." "It's only for people who likes the nfl.", " It's only for Draft enthusiasts..", etc.. In my opinion, this movie is a fast based story driven movie, that does everything right. I myself, is from Denmark, Europe, and I am very interested in the NFL, and American football. We actually have American football in europe, if people wanna know, and it is actually a big sport in some countries. (france, Big Britain, Germany, Finland, etc.I made it a tradition at home now, to watch this movie, before the NFL draft every year, and last time I did, my girlfriend watched it with me. She isn't much interested in sports, but she gave it a go.. I was telling her she could just go to sleep when she was tired, because the Draft would start at 02:00am here in Denmark. Pretty late on a workday. She gave it a change, and after the first 15 mins of the movie, she was sucked into this new univers of the NFL Draft. The movie is nowhere near Jurassic Park, (a personal favorite of mine..) but I am comparing it with it anyways, because, what Jurassic Park was so good at, was drawing the audience into the movie, to make it so exciting. That is what Draft Day does as well. This is maybe not a 10/10 movie, but I think it desserves some support out of all the bad reviews in here. It doesn't desserve a rating under 7.5. There is BY FAR!! a lot worse movies out there than Draft Day!The Point is, IT IS watchable for people outside of USA, and it IS watchable for people, who isn't that interessted in football, but just wanna watch a good story driven movie! They mind end up getting a passion for football after all!

I enjoyed this one except for the part toward the end where the Jaguars' GM asks Kevin Costner what the deal is to Kevin's reaction of, "What do you mean?" The Jaguars' GM goes, "You KNOW what I'm talking about: what's wrong with Callahan? Why don't you want him?" I was like, "Seriously. Don't play dumb just to drag the script out; we all know what his concern is because we're watching the movie." Kevin then goes, "Can't I be perfectly frank with you?" The Jaguars' GM goes, "Well-...YEAH..." At that, I sighed and rolled my eyes, going, "No, he wants you LIE to him. He asked you so you could blow smoke up his rear." This is just like my review of For Love of the Game.

I actually barley Know a thing about The American Football and it was difficult for me to get what is happening at first but nearly to the end I understand it totally. The movie will but you in what really happens during The Draft Day with a lot of excitement and expecting.It's fun to watch it at the end for calm day while you are resting and eating some snacks and don't want to tire your mind with a heavy movie, It's simply an interesting light movie.Kevin Costner was great as always but I really didn't felt him as guy who still in a new relation ship with Jennifer Garner who is more than 10 years younger than him but it's OK, It's Kevin Costner after all.
