Excellent film - one of my favourites

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2002)

Excellent film. Even though I am not a football fan, I do like my war movies and this is one of my favourites. Don't ask me why - I just think that it is a very good feelgood movie because in the end, the Allies win and they still end up free. Unfortunately, not so for the people who the movie was based on - they won and were executed. However, the football is well choreographed and interesting to watch, plus it has quite a few good lines in it too.
