Very Cool!!!

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The Magnificent Eleven of the title are a bunch of boozy amateur league footballers, they are so bad that scoring one goal is seen as the equal of winning the World Cup! Unfortunately because they are so bad they can't get sponsorship and are about to fold. That is until a raucous night at the local Indian takeaway results in the saving of the team. But lurking around with menace is local thug American Bob, who along with his henchman are putting the squeeze on the restaurant for protection money owed.Paul Barber is the manager, Keith Allen is the captain and Sean Pertwee is the star player! That's enough for British film fans to know just what sort of film this is. In truth in spite of its snazzy cast list, it's not very good, the attempt at making a play on The Magnificent Seven, with Robert Vaughn turning up as American Bob, never really works. However, for football fans, and especially those that have played Sunday league footie, there is charm to be found and some genuine laugh out loud moments. Only a Sunday league player in Britain could understand why a team called Real Sociopath is genius funny.A select audience only for this one, non Brits need not apply. 5/10

The Full Monty its not. This is a truly awful film.It is plodding, predictable, hackneyed, clichéd, totally uninvolving, unbelievable, and just not funny. I am frankly staggered at the waste of talent on show here, and I can't believe anyone can call it an "excellent" film.On the contrary, its a complete waste of my time, your time, and theirs.How on earth it got past the initial stages is beyond me.There's far superior films out thereDon't buy or rent it.

I would agree with the first three people who reviewed this film, its great!!!!I don't remember this hitting the cinemas in 2013, but I think it would have done well. Just needed a bit more publicity.Its just the film you need, its based in this country and not some where over the pond in the US, a random Sci-fi pic or lots pouting girls in a hammy rom-com. It has some bloody meaning to it. OK the cast are well known, but so are the places and what goes on there. It is more about us than you might realise, well apart from American Bob that is! I really smiled, laughed and enjoyed it, it was probably better than the original film it was based on.No idea why the rating are low on. I gave it a 10/10.If your reading this write up, trying to work out if its worth watching on SKY Plus then give punt... Its the best 90 minutes you'll spend watching TV. Better than watching celebrity big brother. And you won't find any of these actor on that!Come support your own national film industry and give a view, and vote.

A great UK low budget film with loads of familiar faces. The storyline is bit predictable but never the less good fun and it all comes together nicely at the end. It has an array of likable characters. Sean Pertwee delivers as usual and Keith Allen is pretty good to. The football scenes are realistic unlike your American soccer films, and its great to see real footballers as extras. It's makes a pleasant change to some of the recent awful UK gangster films or hooligan films like Green street. The Indians are a little stereotyped and Robert Vaughan seems to play up his part a bit. I wasn't expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if your looking for a few laughs and nothing too taxing you won't be too disappointed. It's the sort of film that would make a nice TV series.
