Review of The Damned United (2009) by Christopher C — 21 Jul 2010
Brian Clough was manager at Leeds United for 44 days and this film follows his journey to his sacking. Having seen a documentary about Brian Clough before watching the film, I was curious to see how it would be pulled off.
I wasn't disappointed and enjoyed it. Of course, there are dramatic licences to the story but that doesn't detract from the great performances, especially from Sheen. He gives a solid and realistic performance as Clough which added a bit of spice to the film.
This is certainly one of the better films about football.
