Gordon McLoed (Robert Duvall), is a former soccer star who now manages a smalltime team in the town of Kilnockie. The team hasn't won a championship for over a hundred years, so the American team owner (Michael Keaton) acquires star player Jackie McQuillan (real life soccer pro Ally McQuist) to increase the team's chances of winning. To complicate matters, womanizing Jackie is in a failing marriage to McLeod's daughter. But the team must learn to work together, because if they don't have a winning season, it is likely that the club will be permanently moved to Ireland. Director Michael Corrente (OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE) has fashioned a touching tale like to appeal to sports fans and non-fans alike. [More]

In other words, it's just another sports drama/character study. Yet this one makes up for in heart what it lacks in outright newness. Plus, like I already mentioned...it's Robert Duvall! C'mon!

A sports movie with action that's exciting on the field and a story you care about off it.

Scotland looks wonderful, the fans are often funny fanatics, the showdown sure beats a bad day of golf.

Carrying off a spot-on Scottish burr, Duvall (also a producer) peels layers from this character that may well not have existed on paper.

Denis O'Neill's script avoids the prime sports cliche, a last-second goal to win the championship, but it neglects few others.
