About this movie

From the Academy Award®-nominated writer of The Queen and Frost/Nixon, The Damned United is based on the incredible true story of Brian Clough, one of England’s greatest soccer managers and his 44 controversial days at the helm of reigning champs Leeds United. Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and Twilight Saga: New Moon) triumphs as Clough starring alongside a winning ensemble cast that includes Timothy Spall (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Colm Meaney (Layer Cake) and Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). This inspiring and humorous sports drama is about the power of friendship in the face of adversity and the stubborn will of one man to play by his own rules. CBFC U/A VFL/2/87/2010-MUM

Very boring and did not like it one bit ... the climax was something I was not very fond of and being a football fan, I certainly did not enjoy it. If u r looking for a football film that is worth watching, this is not it.

Michael sheen all the way. One of the few true great football films ever made. Reminisces the old days when Leeds utd used to be a big team.
