Movie Reviews of Victory
Movie Review: Enjoyable movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an awesome movie, perhaps one of the best soccer movies ever, and yes I'm including the latest "Goal" movies.
When this movie came out, people wondered why was Stallone included on this, since he doen't look like the "soccer type", Michael Caine being english knows football so it's more suited for him (no mind the belly) but it's Stallone charisma what keeps this afloat. Also the cameos of Pele, Ardiles and Mike Summerbee among other football cracks are the ones which kept this movie going.
It's not one of the best John Huston works, but it's enjoyable and the soccer great scene were coreographed by Pel? himself. Remember this movie was shot when the great brazilian player was in America playing for Cosmos, similar as Beckham is doing right now with the L.A. Galaxy.
For all soccer fans and action movie fans, this movie is also great for 14+ yrs kids who want to watch a great soccer game.
Summary of Victory
Fans of The Great Escape and The Longest Yard will cheer venerable director John Huston's rousing 1981 adventure that pits Allied prisoners of war against their German captors in a soccer match. Michael Caine, who starred in Huston's The Man Who Would Be King, heads an international all-star cast as true-Brit John Colby, a former soccer champion, who heads the rag-tag squad. Max Von Sydow costars as the humane German officer who proposes the match, improbably staged for maximum propaganda impact in a stadium in Paris. As the Allied team, which includes real-life soccer legends Pele and Bobby Moore, practices, the officers' only goal is an audacious half-time escape. Sylvester Stallone is somewhat out of his league as the American determined to join the team. As an actor, Pele may not be on the same playing field as his Oscar-winning costars, but he is thrilling to watch as he executes some awesome, game-winning kicks. --Donald LiebensonAction & Adventure DVD Video
