FILM REVIEW: Draft Day

If you're interested in professional sports' backroom deals and corporate acrobatics interest you as much as the action on the turf, Draft Day wants to take you inside the machine behind American football.

Canadian Ivan Reitman directs this drama about the final hours counting down to the NFL Draft. Kevin Costner plays Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr., forced to shoulder his father's legacy as well as facing pressures to put his own stamp on the team.

Does Draft Day follow the impressive likes of Moneyball, shining a light on the people (and payoffs) behind the athletes? Join CBC's Eli Glasner for a stroll outside Toronto's Rogers Centre by watching the video above to find out.
