With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of fans of mob stories and sports fans (and people who swear they aren't). A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Same wavelength as Tootsie. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Ami Shoshan is the star of the "Sons of Jerusalem" football club, a team known for its violent, racist and homophobic fans. One unfortunate evening Shoshan flirts with a beautiful woman not knowing that she is the mistress of a local Mafia boss, “Blackie” Bokovza. The punishment for this offence is that Ami must summon a press conference and announce that he is gay.
