Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The production is a most realistic, hard-hitting and perceptive look at the seamy side of pro football.

fresh:
The leading man, Nick Nolte, has a physical authority and a clowning, irreverent manner that lend the film some semblance of continuity, even when it's about to flounder.

rotten:
Something of a mess, both in terms of the wayward plot which rambles all over the place, and in terms of the rather muddled juggling of audience sympathies.

fresh:
The football scenes are brutally real; the locker room scenes are totally authentic.

fresh:
Retains enough of the original novel's authenticity to deliver strong, if brutish, entertainment.
