2014 Movie Preview: #20 - Draft Day

Release date: April 11

Plot summary: On the day of the NFL Draft, general manager Sonny Weaver (Costner) has the opportunity to save football in Cleveland when he trades for the number one pick. He must quickly decide what he's willing to sacrifice in pursuit of perfection as the lines between his personal and professional life become blurred on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with dreams of playing in the NFL.

My take: Given that the importance of draft day for the real Cleveland Browns is an all too frequent occurrence, I can't say that this movie has perfect timing, but it will coincide nicely with anticipation for what the Browns will actually do in the draft next year. Aside from an affinity for this movie given its hometown, it looks like it could be solidly entertaining based simply on its good cast and proven director.
