Reseñas (3)
An underwhelming film set in a WWII POW camp that may only please die-hard football fans and admirers of Pelé. But even they might get bored, and even great actors can't pull it off.

Nothing special, but watchable compared to most films with a similar theme. Stallone is terrible, but since he's playing an American who's never played soccer, this may be the performance of his life, because you really don't believe his goalie for a second.

Michael Caine and Max von Sydow's dialogues are sensational (as is Sydow's scene at the end). The whole film is a sporting variation on the legendary The Great Escape, Stallone's character even resembles Steve McQueen in some ways, but I didn't mind that at all. I'm not a big football fan (and maybe that's why I liked the film so much, if I ignored the mistakes), but Victory is one of my favorite WWII escape-themed films. I round up three and a half stars for the best soundtrack Bill Conti ever composed.
