Review: I am so glad and proud to review this movie.. Stunning and marvelous film from South Korea. Starting from the first scene the screenplay was so engaging..Since it’s based on true events the movie was damn realistic..It’s been a long long time since I have seen a movie without a pause for 2 hours..The lead role has given an awesome performance and all the kids who were a part of the team were so inspiring and cheerful..The movie portrays the passion towards soccer..The final match, tat too the last 20 mins of the movie was awesome..Cinematography was stunning..There were no visual effects used in the movie, I would say this a modern masterpiece..Must watch..You will definitely support the East Timor soccer youth team..

                                                       STILLS FROM THE MOVIE



                                                                         
Facts: 1. East Timor became independent only in 2002, and the story of this movie takes place in 2004..
            2. This movie was submitted to the Oscars 2011..but as usual Oscars won’t recognize the talented  ones

Verdict: Victory 

My rating: 4/5
