Movie Reviews of Victory
Movie Review: Great all star cast, after watching it, I wanted to watch it again
Summary: 4 Stars
World War II prisoners of war are challenged to a game of soccer against the Germans. The Third Reich against the prisoners. Of course, the Nazi bastards will cheat only because winning is more important than playing fairly and losing.
The picture quality of this DVD is kinda pasty. It does not appear to be mastered at all. Dark scenes and nighttime scenes are of a pixated grey appearance. The babe of the film is Renee'. Carole Laure a French Canadian actress whose mother was Indian. She was the girl who provides shelter for Sylvester Stallone after his escape from the prison camp.
If you liked this film, check out the Indian film called "Lagaan" where 18th century Indian farm workers were challenged to a game of cricket against the arrogant British who held a stranglehold of authority over the people of India.
Movie Review: Why do I like this movie?
Summary: 3 Stars
I can't for the life of me understand why I watch this film whenever it is on TV. Maybe because I adore Michael Caine; or because I am hung up on POW camp movies; or because Stallone is at the peak of his good looks??? The first time I watched it years ago, I was in disbelief when the POWs chose not to escape into the sewers...it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Yet, I overlook it time after time to watch the movie. Certainly, the last half hour is the best, with the crowd being as big a part of the action as the actors and player themselves. Anyway, I have to go now, as it's on TV.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.
Movie Review: I never was sure...
Summary: 3 Stars
..., which, players or fans, got the utmost stupidity, but I thank John Huston for showing they're about even. Of course, although here soccer is used for demonstration, but it can apply to any crap filling stadiums with subhumans who shouldn't have any rights whatsoever....Movie Review: Stallone in Victory
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a Stallone fan, but I hated his character in this movie. He plays a bit of a jerk -- well. Still, this is a fantastic movie in virtue of the story line. It was inexpensive to own and well worth the money I paid. I will rewatch this one occassionally.
