Ruby was inspiring and Brians song was a tear jerker. ND40 was just a great movie.
Nolte is a great actor period. Down and out in Beverly Hills, 48hrs, Cape Fear and The Deep. Just a few of his many great roles. Sad to see him in some of his worst times. Though they should be forgiven due to his great contributions to film.
The movie is about a receiver in the NFL and his conflicts with people and the team he plays for. A person that comes to realize that the damage to his honor and soul, not to mention his body are not worth the price anymore and his struggles to come to grips with this.
This was before free agentry.
Great scenes follow this movie throughout. If you haven't seen this movie, make some time and watch it.
