This review is from: Blood Equity (DVD)

The best aspect of Blood Equity is the narratives from the retired players. Their stories are compelling, and saddening. It is through their stories that you understand the problems and frustration facing retired players and their families. However, the film seems to have been put together in a rather haphazard manner. In places it is over produced (overly dramatic music, or loud sounds - think "True Hollywood Stories" on crack) and poorly edited. The film comes across as an amateur production and I personally found this distracting and irritating from, what is, interesting subject matter. Perhaps a low point of the film is when a player is introduced with the graphic indicated that he played for the "Dever Broncos". This is quite sad because the issues this film raises are very important and these retired players should be supported. I would have liked more information regarding the NFLPA's stance and the CBAs that led to this problem. A historical perspective would have made this film much better. Also, the flow of the film does not progress in a logical fashion. Instead, it appears the film makers have taken a collection of interviews, chopped them up, and then arranged them in an arbitrary manner. While these criticism may seem harsh I do believe the film works best when the film makers just let the players talk. Their stories, delivered in their own words, are quite powerful.
