Will (2012)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very Cool!!!

Sadly Over-hyped

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film has this really feel good get you up story about it. It's well written, factually correct in many ways ( Csevinc has you believe in his review it isn't possible in Europe to cross borders without a passport which in actual fact it is) However, the film is weak, very weak. Starts you off with his life as it is, then BOOM his father returns (out of the blue) and you feel great, then tragedy happens, and you feel for little Will. We then follow him on his journey and I myself couldn't help but think this gives the viewer a nice positive image of the world. Well Europe at least. But overall this film is quite literally only for Liverpool fans, I struggle myself to watch it again due to the over use of Liverpool football club. But if your looking for a tear jerker you found it!

I have to go with the minority on this. Its a workable - even interesting - idea, but surely one major (and very interesting, even dramatic) barrier to an 11 year-old crossing Europe WITHOUT A PASSPORT is how the heck through the borders (Schengen only gets you to Croatia at best!). Its not insurmountable, but pretty significant - significant enough for it to be a pretty major part of a film like this, you'd think. But no.Instead the drama is made up of daft, random, and at times very predictable, events that hang in the air and then get forgotten (like the theft, for instance) along with total fantasy nonsense such as the ending. I was even at a loss to work out who on earth the target audience was - children? Adults? Families? Cannot work it out...Its like a first draft of a script that somehow got made without anyone so much as reading it through. Indeed its worse than that - its like a film that was made up as everyone went along, with every stupid idea thrown in without consideration for anything at all.As for the acting... WTF? Did they rehearse at all?I wonder - was this one of those films made as a tax dodge...?

Nothing can stand in the way of a will power. Before watching, i had some prejudice about this movie. First,I thought that it would be one of those one-sided movies but I was wrong.One may think that it is all about football or Liverpool. But it isn't. It is all about holding on to life.We all need something to hold on to.In this movie that something is football for an eleven year old kid who has almost lost all his hopes in everything.Each one of us find relief in different things, some go fishing , some do gardening, some lay on their backs all day dreaming ,but we all do something to relax. In this movie, you will find yourself.

I have just seen this film at the Kerala Film Festival in India and I am still amazed! It might be very well the best football feature film of the year 2011. The story about a boy who tackles his great trauma with the potential healing power of football and who is helped wherever he goes by the solidarity of football fans from different nations brought me at different moments very very close to tears. It didn't surprised me that a female director got this deep understanding of the very soul of football, but when two American scriptwriter-producer prove to be so close at the heart of what they have to call "soccer" in their own country - then there is hope for more good football films to come out of Hollywood...
