Even if you don't love soccer (football) you'll enjoy something about this movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2005)

What an excellent feature film debut by a wonderful director and a wonderful person. My college had the privilege of having her screen this movie and hold a Q&A after. The movie starts off exciting as we are introduced to a wild and loud character named Pete, who is played by an excellent young and up incoming actor Charlie Hunnam (watch out for him in the future). It was excellent to see Elijah in a role that put him in the back seat and be the observer throughout the movie. This is such a daring movie for Elijah and would love to see what other film choices he makes.
Even if you're not into soccer, you'll find something special about this film. For all those who love down n dirty fights, you'll get plenty. For all those who like elements of family and friends, you'll get plenty. I remember Lexi saying in the Q&A that it's important to make films that mean something to you and through this film you'll see just how passionate she is about this subject matter. The camera work and storytelling is excellent. The film is gritty, pleasant, funny, edgy, exciting. Excellent film.
