This is football
15 May 2007
People who are living in America are usually calling this game soccer and other people from all around the world football.I don't like this soccer term so I'm going to use word football.So this is a football movie.Movie about this excellent game and probably about most popular sport on this planet.

This movie is about one little club from Scotland who is playing in second league.Their manager (coach) is Gordon McLeod (Duvall),a man who dedicated his life for football.In their club soon arrives big star.A player Jackie McQuillan (McCoist) who is at the end of his career,but who still knows how to play football.McQuillan is married to McLeod's daughter Kate and they have a young boy.McLeod never talked to much with his daughter because he never really liked McQuillan.Owner of the club is American Peter Cameron (Keaton) who wants to move the team to Ireland and he gives an ultimatum to McQuillan:he has to make some good results or else the club will be moved.Excellent chance for doing some progress is in Scottish cup.

This movie is about the people who are living their lives for football and on that level this movie is very well.But they could also do a little better when the camera is shooting the game.I cannot say that this isn't a good movie and it is certainly one of the best football movies but somehow I feel they could do even better.

Robert Duvall played his role very well and I'm really astonished how he spoked with Scottish accent.Michael Keaton and Brian Cox are good and I want to also mention Ally McCoist and Kirsty Mitchell because I think they did good job.There are lots of real players in this movie and I'm glad that actors like Duvall and Keaton like football although they are from America.
