The movie retells the true story of Brian Clough's 44 day tenure with the famous English soccer club Leeds United. While the film follows Clough, it depicts all the ins and outs of English 'football.'
Clough came from a small team, when he made the jump to Leeds all hell breaks loose. Martin Sheen, "Frost/Nixon," carried the film as Clough, he was perfectly cast for this role. Clough tough yet fun personality is tough to portray but Sheen did it well.
The story has its ups and downs but it is directed perfectly by Tom Hooper, "The King's Speech." At every turn Hooper keeps the viewer in mind, he explains everything so non-soccer fans don't get lost.
Rating: A-
The great cast and story makes for a great movie for everyone.
