Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

My favorite movie of all time! Sonny Weaver Jr. is the only person who could save the Browns too

"Draft Day" is a movie with Kevin Costner, telling the story of a NFL executive working for the Cleveland Browns who prepares for the annual Draft Day and gets in real trouble when he agrees on what seems to be a fabulous deal but turns out to be a dangerous trade when the prime candidate shows some dark sides and the coach disagrees on the deal.This is indeed a strong movie because it manages to create a thriller out of seemingly rather usual executive actions and makes you root for a main character that is, objectively spoken, not the most sympathetic guy. Personally I would have preferred had they taken an actual example of a real draft rather than create a fictional scenario but nonetheless this turns out to be a better thriller than many titles that include horrible crimes and chasing scenes. Of course this one also comes with a set of A-class actors but it would also work without them and that deserves respect.All in all I was never bored and really wanted to see how the plot turns out in the end. Of course you should have some basic knowledge of the sport or at least some interest but this could also be a good way to introduce you to the fascination of the game and everything that surrounds it.

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.

Continuing my plan to watch every movie in Kevin Costner's filmography in order, I come to his third movie of 2014. Draft Day After his attempt at a Liam Neeson-esque, late-career action star reinvention in 3 Days To Kill, KC is back in more familiar territory (a sports movie) in Ivan Reitman's football film Draft Day. Plot In A Paragraph: At the NFL Draft, general manager Sonny Weaver (KC) has the opportunity to rebuild his team when he trades for the number one pick. He must decide what he's willing to sacrifice on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with NFL dreams.This movie doesn't really do anything for me, I don't think it's to do with my lack of interest in American Football as I enjoy the Burt Reynolds movie The Longest Yard, Any Given Sunday, Rudy and The Waterboy despite not knowing what a first down is. As the title suggests, this is not your typical sports, much less football film. The large cast, which includes the likes of Frank Langella (who normally makes everything better) Jennifer Garner, Chadwick Boseman, Josh Pence, Tom Welling and Ellen Burstyn all get varying amounts of screen time. However, not for nothing does KC stand alone on the film's one- sheet. He is the only reason to see this movie. He is certainly the only reason I made it to the end.
