Fast Forward, 25 May 2001
Author: Karl Self from Yurp

This is a fairly unsuccessful attempt to make a German movie along the lines of New British Cinema. I could not get warm with either the characters, who come across as one - dimensional and loutish rather than likeable, nor the painting - by - numbers storyline. The only highlight is the acting of Óscar Sánchez, who plays the arrogant football star at odds with his working - class fans.

Not really a bad movie, but I had the feeling that I had seen it all before.
