Too many people writing a review here are just simply trolling to destroy the film & are allowing their biases & passions about FIFA to stand in the way of seeing a really good film.
Given that the film was financed by FIFA, I wasn't exactly expecting to get any objective story about FIFA anymore than I was expecting films like "Zero-Minus-Thirty", "American Sniper" & "Act of Valor" to objective about US military adventurism abroad. I saw those other 3 films and not only where they PENTAGON & US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROPAGANDA but they were not very good films in terms of acting, script cinematography or anything else.
Just like "1492 Conquest For Paradise" wasn't exactly the most historically accurate & objective film ever made by Christopher Columbus & his voyages in the Americas, this is not going to be a an objective film about FIFA.
But one thing it does have in common with "1492 Conquest For Paradise" is IT'S A GOOD FILM. If you just pay attention to film for what it is, as a film, and pay attention to the costumes, acting (great performances by 3 great all-stars_, directing, cinematography & everything else that people usually judge a film by -- it's a good film.
You time will not be wasted watching this women, you will learn a few things, and I'm pretty sure everyone is smart enough to pick-up propaganda when they see one, but the point is appreciating this film for what it is -- a good film.
Just pretend it's based on a fiction story for a couple of hours & believe me you will appreciate this film a lot more. Otherwise you passions & biases about FIFA will not allow you to see this film for what it is.
Good Film, great acting, great cinematography, great costumes, interesting takes on Football history & you will appreciate Tim Gerard & the Jurrasic Park Fellow.
It's worth to watch it -- Even if you have to use your Student ID to get a discount card or go during a matinée time so you don't have to full price, I'd say do it! Because the Film was too well made to simply dismissed because how some of us may feel about FIFA.
