Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

paul david I am a football fan and widely travelled but I did not know the story of the Yugoslavia football team in the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay and I thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to finish. I am a little uncomfortable with the reference to the Yugoslav team being entirely Serbian but I acknowledge why it was referenced in the way it was and i empathise with the analogy if a British team competing was comprised entirely of Englishmen.Superbly filmed, excellent dialogues, loaded with comic moments, touching moments of romance and suspense but I wonder if the romance was true between the Yugoslav football player and Dolores? In years there has not been a football related movie to get even remotely close to 'The Damned United' and the Brian Clough story but this, given it is a foreign language film, exceeds that and you are missing a jewel of a movie at your absolute peril.It is a weird kind of agony that Yugoslavia beat the favoured nation Brazil in their first match which nation also supplied the reference for that eventful semi=final with Uruguay and the irony extends to the 1950 final when Uruguay beat Brazil on their 'patch'.The film itself was in my view faultless but I would have liked some reference at the end as to what happened in the lives of those Yugoslav football players. Did they return to Serbia? By the way, reference to Coca Cola was a little odd because I thought the soft drink was not marketed aligned with Santa Klaus for red and white until the Christmas of 1936.

krejjas-704-596061 I watched the first movie few years ago and it was a great experience. I grew up in a strict communist country, where even a mere mention that something great was archived by it's predecessor (the European-oriented and democratic Kingdom of Yugoslavia) was forbidden.When I first heard that Yugoslavian football team won bronze medal back in 1930, I thought that somebody was being over-patriotic because I never heard of such event. Luckily I was wrong. The story begins with Yugoslav football team,comprised of Serbs from Belgrade teams, going on sea voyage to Montevideo, to the first ever football championship of the wold,follows their (mis)adventures in the city of Montevideo and matches they participated. There are three characters that made the movie great: Paco is a Croat from Herzegovina that lives in Montevideo.At the beginning, he is very cold and cynical towards the Serbs,but slowly that attitude changes, and there are many warm moments in the movie that makes a viewer believe that those two nations can settle their difference and be nice to each other.He is played by seasoned actor Branko Đurić, one of the best in former Yugoslavia. His acting is a pure 10, and without him, the movie wouldn't be half as good as it is. Petar Strugar plays Moša, player that has swinging moods and somewhere in the middle of the movie, looses his self confidence,which affects his football performance.He regains it in the most touching scene of the movie, among the children with leprosy.I hope to see Strugar in more movies, because he has a charisma and the looks of Žarko Laušević,who lost to a world of acting by a tragic event back in the 90s. Armand Assante plays Hotchkins, a football manager that came to Montevideo in pursuit of fresh cannon fodder for his travelling football circus. His machination almost make the Yugoslav football team crumble.His role is played magnificently,and even though he is as sleazy as a manager can be, I was able to understand his ways and ever look at him as almost a positive character.Great actor and great play! One more thing:the director of this movie is Dragan Bjelogrlić,and he is an actor as well.I dislike him as actor, but his director's opus is great! Hope he produces more movies like this because this is one of the rare sequels that is better than the original movies. All four thumbs up!

fp-roka This is an excellent movie, with great story, great camera, great acting.... One more thing this is second part of th movie Montevideo - God Bless you, When I was looking for this movie on this site I just sawed review from ex Yugoslavia's republic called Bosnia and Herzegovina and in every single thing these people form Bosnia (Islamic part of Bosnia) are writing things that has nothing with movie, they write about politics and religious views an in a matter of a fact this film has nothing to do with it and its true story what happened what you can easily find evidence in a 1 minute. In first part of film in that time 1930 was Yugoslavian Kingdom and Croatian players didn't want to play on this world cup and that is a fact that only Serbian players actually did play on this world cup. Its easy to find which players played for every country for example Yugoslavia beat Brasil 2:1 So stunning movie really non political and very easy for watching, I recommend you to watch it an I'm sure you will like it if you like football (in USA soccer). Rating in my opinion pure 10.

aleksandar-d-randjelovic First: I just need to say something about last two lines. If you have watched first part of the movie (but that is told in the second one, too): it was Yugoslavian national team made from Serbian football players ONLY so that two lines are not about Great Serbia. If that was UK and only English players play in national team because all other refuse to join team. You could say that that was success of England. People want to share victories... but not defeats. If Yugoslavia was last in Uruguay and the last two lines were: That was the biggest defeat of Serbia... no one would talk about that.Second: movie is very good. It is based on historical facts. All about last game is true. But everything is not true... for example part about pimping the egg or marrow, etc.Hope you'll watch it and you'll like it. :-)
