This movie is about ex-football star Danny Meehan who ends up in prison for three years.There he gets offer to lead a football team of prisoners.He excepts that offer and he meets his new friends and team mates.

This movie is nothing special and I liked scenes from prison more then on a football field.I think that those scenes on pitch could have been better.I liked actors and you can really see some very good British actors like Vinnie Jones,David Kelly and Jason Statham.My favorite character is Monk and Statham did an excellent job in portraying this guy.He has to be crazy because he killed people but also he's got a huge heart and he helped the team.I love movies about football because it's my favorite game so I watched this one and I didn't regret.A fine movie.

What I didn't like is that actually we love prisoners more then guards in this movie.We are cheering for people who are murderers and thieves.This side of movie is not well made because most of the people don't get to jail for being innocent.

I can't say that this is a bad movie cause it isn't but some things in plot should be re-done.But I liked the movie and I can recommend it for everyone who knows what is football.Excellent soundtrack with few great songs.
