I guess this film is the portrait of many soccer players over the world, a topic not so often spoken about, because it reveals not so fairy tale like things. I expected a bit more, something rougher, tougher, but this is not bad at all. It must be seen more than a documentary than a true movie based on actors performances. Focus on the true face behind the mask of those young men who make millions of football - soccer - fans dream. I confess that the main character annoyed me a bit, I don't know why, and I think it was both the actor and the character, this young talent wasting it, romancing his chick instead of focusing on his sport involvment. And the girl character is also very puzzling, because she can't understand that this young man has to concentrate on his career. She doesn't accept to be put in the second place. Why doesn't she accept this? OK, it is a movie inspired from the actual life of this young man. But when you are hit by a truck, even a slowing down truck, I guess you are in a severe condition, more than after a fall in a staircase. And that's precisely what this young man's face look like after the accident; just a couple of scratches on the face. In real life, I guess the face of the real character whom this film is inspired from looked really in a far worst condition.

An actual good story about how something you'd think is your dream actually becomes a nightmare. Imo all the actors are recent, but the actor who plays martin bengtsson to me really stands out. His emotions are clear to see just looking at his eyes. My main problem with this movie however is that it isn't historically correct. The story takes place in the early 2000's. But the movie is modern witch throws you off a bit. Nevertheless it is still one of the better swedish movies ive seen.

I've seen several movies about football or soccer and this one is definitely the best so far. Because it focuses mainly on the backstage of the players' lives, making it interesting even for those who don't like this sport.
