| User ReviewHans LIt should come as no great surprise that this documentary examining the power of the beautiful game is tepid and perfunctionary being directed as it is by Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough, Gorky Park, Class Action). But it is kind of perplexing how one can make such a passionless film about a subject that inspires the craziest joy in people. Chronicling the fortunes of various countries as they qualify for the 2006 World Cup this has pretensions beyond its formal and intellectual reach and a myopic preoccupation with East/West dichotomies dilutes further any hope of being inspirational. |
