Oliver Stone takes on professional football, a sport whose grace and delicacy are a good match for his filmmaking style. Tony DAmato (Al Pacino), the head coach of the Miami Sharks, won back-to-back championships four years ago. But new team owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) has little enthusiasm for the finer points of the game and is concerned only with the bottom line. The longtime strongman of Tonys team has been Cap Rooney (Dennis Quaid), a 39-year-old quarterback, but Christina balks at renewing his contract. When Cap is injured during a game, third-string rookie quarterback Willie Beaman (Jamie Foxx) goes on in his place and becomes a major star. But Beaman is mostly interested in fame and money, and he has little regard for Tony and his teammates. Any Given Sunday also stars James Woods as the teams doctor, LL Cool J as a star running back, Jim Brown as a former football great turned Sharks defensive coordinator, Ann-Margret as Christinas alcoholic mother, Bill Bellamy as a wide receiver, Elizabeth Berkley as Tonys favorite prostitute, and Charlton Heston as the football commissioner. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
