Le dirigeant

Entertaining with a touch of good heart. I don't care if it's a true story or not, I enjoyed it for the duration of it and that's enough.

The acting is great and, the story and script are well done. All the actors are well cast, even the "villain" that I couldn't stand for years.

What I liked the most was finding myself rooting for Argentina's team at the end. I never thought of doing that ever in my life, lol Last, but not least, I love a mature Leo Sbaraglia. He's always done a consistent job at playing normal people that you can feel them, and this is just another great example of that.

Oh, and there are some post-credit scenes, do not miss them.

Álvaro is a marketing manager, divorced with a son who he can barely talk to, living a mediocre life and doing a mediocre job, until his bosses tell him he needs to improve his marketing campaigns for the next 2018's World Cup. He'll soon launch a plan with Argentina's National Football Team and the upcoming qualifiers that may become a lot more risky than he planned.

Based on a real story, but very boring, it has the 2018 World Cup, Argentina, Messi (who I love), it has marketing, several quotes to Brazil (after all, it has a football world cup as a "backdrop") and they still "pass the leg " In a Brazilian company, reverse trickery... The film is long and boring, despite being agile, fun and with a good script, finally the contradiction... Regular...
