Pure cheese, but if you love footie you gotta love this.

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2004)

Ok so this film was never going to earn Stallone another Oscar and Pele doesn't exactly display the same skill for acting as he does for the beautiful game. But that's not the point. It's a feel good sports movie with a typical happy ending - you know the score: Slo-mo goal, Nazi's defeated, allies escape, football is the answer to all life's problems. Whilst it is most definitely a huge slice of Camembert it made me get one of those "I love you guys" moments when they escape. Sunday afternoon classic.
One for football fans only really (football in the British sense, none of that American football that is actually played with your hands !?)but well worth a couple of hours viewing.
