Own goal


The Keeper (2018)

Directed by Marcus H. Rosenmuller this film based on real events stars David Kross, John Henshaw and Freya Mavor. A German POW in WW2 starts to play for a local team in England as a goal keeper.

Unfortunately the interesting story of Bert Trautmann has the finger prints of screen writing cliches all over it in this film. Too many scenes are too obviously constructed leaving parts of the real story behind. I would love to see a good film on this subject but this one falls well short.

2/5
