Trying to stop two shit teams becoming a slightly less shit team


Extra Time (2018)

Directed by Mark Grentell this film also known as “The Merger” stars Damian Callinan, Fayssal Bazzi and Kaye Mulvany. In small town Australia a local pariah wants to save the Aussie rules football team by integrating immigrants into the team.

There is plenty of Australian sentiment to this light hearted sports film that touches on issues of immigration and prejudice. While the script is never going to win awards for being subtle this is a fun little film. A lot of the content may be familiar but this is still an enjoyable watch.

3/5
