Believe (2014)
Directed by David Scheinmann this film allegedly based on a true story stars Brian Cox, Natascha Mcelhone, Jack Smith and Toby Stephens. 1984 in Manchester, a retired top level football manager helps coach a group of young working class kids.
Disappointingly it's hard to find much to like about this film as it is overly sentimental and far too formulaic to in any way believe that it is based on any real events. Perhaps the worst part about this film is the attempt to parley a real life tragedy like the Munich air disaster into cheap emotional currency to prop up the film. Brian Cox and Natascha Mcelhone are both great actors but what they are doing in a film like this is beyond ,me.
2/5
