Not even the brilliant talent of Robert Duvall could save this film. While there was a great deal of hidden talent in the cast of characters including Michael Keaton, Cole Hauser, and Owen Coyle, the films direction failed to tell its story. Unlike the wonderful direction in Any Given Sunday, (another film on the topic of football)A Shot at Glory didn't use the power of the camera to express emotion in the story and the characters. A Shot at Glory sat on the shoulders of other "Feel Good" movies such as Mystery,Alaska and The Air Up There. The end result of taking recycled material with recycled story lines equals into leftovers that aren't worth heating up for dinner.
