    It's a good movie especially if you Follow soccer. My only complaint will be it's more focused on Sir Charlton than club

    The camera pan across a field of snow. There's a playing card, the odd item laying discarded. Then we see two young men sitting next to each other and realize they are sitting in an two-seater airplane seat. One of the men is dazed, but the other is clearly dead. This is slightly surreal scene is the opener of the very sincere, heartfelt movie, United. Today Manchester United is the powerhouse of British football, but what most Americans don't realize is that in 1958, the club came very close to being destroyed due to an airplane accident during a snowstorm in Germany. The efforts to save the club make it one of the great sports comeback stories. The movie was made on a shoestring, and many of the actors waved their usual fees. None of that shows in the quality. The story and acting are top-notch, with everyone involved completely dedicated to the material. This is a movie about the people involved and what it took to recover from disaster and rally.
  • Loved it

    If you enjoy a well-made drama, football, and believable acting, don't miss out on this. Enjoyed every minute-despite the 10$ rental. :)
