First of all: I just couldn't stop looking at the background. 8 million dollars budget gives you FIFA-16 background and GTA cars driving on "soviet chromakey". Really?? Couldn't stop laughing. As for the story - absolutely amazing Lev Yashin and his life is so poorly portrayed that it is really hard to understand what was so great about this goalkeeper. They hate, they love, they hate, they love... not enough to feel the story! Lead actor was trying but was a total character miss (well, thank gods it was not Petrov). Oh and one more irritating part - dialogs starting at one location and continuing at another with the help of "the evil edit master". 2 stars.

A well-paced and engaging biopic. Very enjoyable, even for viewers like myself that aren't die-hard football fans.

Admittedly, the audio equalisation was amateurish in places. Also, a few extras looked a little too eager to be reading their lines.

Nevertheless, the main characters played their parts excellently. Soviet-era culture was very well captured, too.
