Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The form of the film is conventional, but the manner in which it has been executed is not.

fresh:
A frankly oldfashioned World War II morality play, hinging on soccer as a civilized metaphor for the game of War.

rotten:
Unsatisfactory both for fans of star-studded prison escape dramas and for football fans hoping to see cunningly devised tactics from Pele and his squad of internationals.
