Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed up professional quarterback who gets a chance to play again when the professional football players strike. Here, he actually shows a bit of acting ability, unlike his earlier efforts (Bill & Ted, for example, or even the Matrix). The supporting cast, from Orlando Jones to Jon Favreau, Rhys Ifans, and the great Gene Hackman, all come together to really make this movie a lot of fun.
