Plot
The film is a sports drama that revolves around Vinny, who is discouraged and fed up with his job. The Homeless World Cup that is being held in Rome brings him a new chance to rekindle his bond with football as he used to be a player of the youth team of West Ham football. The movie is a tale of football matches, victory, losses and life. The film shows the ups and downs in the matches and how Vinny and his team emerged as winners.
Star Performances
Bill Nighy as Mal is absolutely unique in his role. Micheal Ward as Vinny has done an impressive job in portraying his role. He is fabulous in the lead role. Valeria Golino as Gabriella also has done an excellent job in her brief role and fits well.
Analysis
The movie has a great plot based on sports, courage and sportsmanship. As the movie goes on, new characters get introduced, each one with a new story and life lesson of their own. The movie had a lot of potential, but it seems lost due to lack of proper script layout and execution. The Homeless World Cup was an excellent opportunity for the filmmakers to produce a masterpiece, as it's much of a hidden underdog plot but they disappoint. Despite this the movie is inspiring because of the series of events and the values it displays. The characters are truly inspiring and the actors have portrayed that on the big screen well. The movie impresses the audience because of its unique message and ethos. The film beautifully captures the emotions of sorrow and rejection of the characters that connect to the audience as they seem authentic.
What's There?
● The film has an inspirational sports inspired plot that intrigues the audience, specially youngsters and children.
● Excellent star cast and screenplay according to the direction. The star cast feels fresh and unique on screen. The screenplay could have been much better, but still is satisfactory.
What's not There?
● The movie is like any other sports drama that ends on an inspirational note and doesn't express something new.
● The movie could be more powerful and connecting, if the characters and their stories were detailed a bit more rather than focusing merely on the game.
● The movie feels stretched and bland for that much of a story plot, which feels tiring for the audience who expect some thrill and suspense in the theaters.
Verdict
The movie has an uplifting and motivating plot that is a must watch for the young audience, especially in the sports field. The actors have done a commendable job in the given direction. Despite all the shortcomings, the movie performs well and is undoubtedly worth watching.
