I didn't know what to expect with this film as I'm not a football fan.
I love British films so I thought I'd give it a watch, even though it's not the sort of film I would usually go for.
I'm so glad I did now. It was moving and taught me lots about the Munich disaster (I wasn't even born when it happened).
David Tennant is fantastic (obviously) and all the other actors were brilliant.
My daughter has told me that there has been a lot of controversy about this film but I'm glad I haven't read any of it as it was just a really good film.
Would defiantly recommend it.
