Draft Day



                Draft Day came out in 2014 and was directed by Ivan Reitman.  It starred Kevin Costner who played the general manager of the Cleveland Browns. This film grossed about $29.5 million in the box office.
                This movie is about the general manager of the Cleveland Browns (Kevin Costner) deciding what he should do in the NFL draft. He trades with the Seahawks to get the first overall pick so they can get the reigning Heisman winner, Bo Callahan. However Costner isn’t sure that he wants to pick Callahan and looks into why he shouldn’t take Callahan. When the draft starts Callahan decides to pick Vontae Mack who he was going to choose at his original draft spot. Later Costner trades with the Jaguars for the sixth pick. He then trades with the Seahawks to get his original picks back and a punt returner. Costner then is able to get Ray Jennings in the next pick.
                Most of this movie is just people on the phone. However they handle the phone scenes very well. The way they split the screen is kind of interesting. They didn’t just split the screen in half; they brought the people who were talking into the foreground. The place they were talking looked more like a background for them.
