Title: If only World War II had been ninety minutes long!
Review: A very different kind of war movie. Some very popular cinematic stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, and Max Von Sydow appear with world class soccer stars headed by Brazil's Pele in an interesting and exciting film where the adversaries of history's most destructive war sublimated their hostilities to the soccer field. This was one of the last efforts of legendary film director John Huston and this one doesn't disappoint. Panoramic shots of the field and the continuous action of the game and its players during the last half of the film are the best since the chariot race scenes in "Ben Hur". This is a film worth watching even if you're not a soccer fan or you don't like war movies.
