Starring Bill’s favorite actor Kevin Costner, Draft Day
After pulling off a blockbuster trade, General Manager Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) control the #1 pick. Up against fan pressure, an ambitious owner and a hard-nosed coach, Sonny faces the biggest decision of his life. Should he go with the consensus #1 pick or trust his instincts and risk losing it all? Now, I don’t want to give you an spoiler. I can just tell you that it’s a really good movie. The plot is excellent and the actors are great. You don’t even have to be a Kevin Costner or a football fan to enjoy this movie.
The Draft Day Blu-ray Combo Pack bonus materials include an exclusive 58-minute making of featurette titled “On The Clock: The Making of Draft Day” and “Welcome To Primtetime” an inside look behind the scenes of the NFL Draft. Both the Blu-ray and DVD special features include audio commentary with the writers plus deleted scenes.
I loved this film. I was told by some who would supposedly know that it just wasn’t authentic to the draft pick as it really happens and to me … well ,,. I just don’t care. I’m not a slavish Kevin Costner fan; sometimes he’s really good though, and this is one of those times.
