If you're not into football, there isn't a single scene in Draft day (2011) you will care about. Its draft day at the NFL, and according to the voice over, it's a day when "lives are changed, fates are decided, dynasties are born and the clock is always ticking." Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner), who is the general manager of the Cleveland Browns, is looking to turn the franchise around with the NFL Draft. Given the first-round pick by the Seattle Sea-hawks, Sonny must decide what he's willing to sacrifice in order to save football in Cleveland.
While the movie isn't necessarily about the game itself, its about the behind-the-scenes business end, which may seem dull but is actually surprisingly thrilling. The insider look from within the offices is somewhat as compelling and interesting as Moneyball, which also showed the attempts of a professional sports team do something with their name. Nevertheless, if your not into football, you may find yourself at times clueless as to what is actually happening. With an amazing performance from two time Academy Award winner Kevin Costner, this film is surely one to watch for all you football fanatics out there. Check out the trailer below.
