★★☆☆☆Premièred at last year's San Sebastian Festival, The Unbeatables (2013) - previously entitled Metegol (Foosball) - is a curious breed of animated adventure fodder, and not merely because it's Academy Award-winning director Juan José Campanella's follow-up to the widely different The Secret in Their Eyes (2009). In his youth, skilled foosball player Amadeo (Rupert Grint) wiped the floor with Flash (Anthony Head), a cocksure bully who was left red-faced. Years later, while Amadeo has struggled to make much of a name for himself, Flash has become a pro football player. He returns to his hometown with the intention of bulldozing it flat and erecting a massive stadium in its place.
