Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Spikeopath The Magnificent Eleven of the title are a bunch of boozy amateur league footballers, they are so bad that scoring one goal is seen as the equal of winning the World Cup! Unfortunately because they are so bad they can't get sponsorship and are about to fold. That is until a raucous night at the local Indian takeaway results in the saving of the team. But lurking around with menace is local thug American Bob, who along with his henchman are putting the squeeze on the restaurant for protection money owed.Paul Barber is the manager, Keith Allen is the captain and Sean Pertwee is the star player! That's enough for British film fans to know just what sort of film this is. In truth in spite of its snazzy cast list, it's not very good, the attempt at making a play on The Magnificent Seven, with Robert Vaughn turning up as American Bob, never really works. However, for football fans, and especially those that have played Sunday league footie, there is charm to be found and some genuine laugh out loud moments. Only a Sunday league player in Britain could understand why a team called Real Sociopath is genius funny.A select audience only for this one, non Brits need not apply. 5/10
drobison-793-939911 Oh dear! I wanted to enjoy this film as I like British comedies, football and Keith Allen. However, some of the acting wasn't the best and there wasn't enough depth. Plot lines could have been explored a lot more. I would have liked a more feel good soundtrack too.I'm afraid my husband and I were both reminded of the B moves we used to watch in the 70s. Though they were more enjoyable as shorter and were what they were!If they gave it a revamp and started again I would give it another chance though!
Gary Wallis A great UK low budget film with loads of familiar faces. The storyline is bit predictable but never the less good fun and it all comes together nicely at the end. It has an array of likable characters. Sean Pertwee delivers as usual and Keith Allen is pretty good to. The football scenes are realistic unlike your American soccer films, and its great to see real footballers as extras. It's makes a pleasant change to some of the recent awful UK gangster films or hooligan films like Green street. The Indians are a little stereotyped and Robert Vaughan seems to play up his part a bit. I wasn't expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if your looking for a few laughs and nothing too taxing you won't be too disappointed. It's the sort of film that would make a nice TV series.
vhavnal I'm not sure why this movie has got poor reviews and poor ratings on IMDb, I actually enjoyed the movie very much.Its a movie about a soccer gang who are down on their luck in terns of finance and thus need sponsorship and they find an Indian family that run a not so profitable looking restaurant to sponsor them. Some of the dialogues are well written but there were instance of poor acting and generally over acting specially by the main villain who acted more like Clint Eastwood in the 60's.. Overall a movie you might want to watch only if you are feeling bored and want a bit of entertainment. Its a good fun and somewhat entertaining movie even though it has random male nudity, if you ignore that, its probably a good movie to watch.
