Sonny Weaver Jr. Is the general manager of the Cleveland Browns. One of pro football's most important days, NFL draft day, is drawing near, but Sonny has much more on his mind than just which players to recruit. His lover is pregnant, and the team's owner wants to fire him. After Sonny accepts a deal with Seattle that nets him that team's first-round pick, he immediately wonders if he has made the right choice for himself and the Browns.
I'm a big fan of spots movies, but this one just hits different. This isn't your typical sports movie where a team is losing and you're rooting for them throughout the whole film until they get a very emotional win at the end. Actually, there aren't any sports scenes throughout the whole movie, but rather the behind the scenes of this sport that not too many people know.
The film presents the intensity before every selection in the draft from all points of views including the manager, the team owner, the team's staff, the team's player's, all the players that are to be drafted, and even their families. Kevin Costner is amazing as Sonny Weaver who's the Cleveland Browns' manager and who goes through major character development in just 13 hours. Many other big actors like Jennifer Garner and Chadwick Boseman also did great in their roles. The whole movie builds up to the draft which was a great part of the movie. The last 30 minutes were just so good shocking. I want talk about it anymore so I don't ruin that part if you end up watching it.
Score:8/10.
