User Reviews [Review this film]

"Very Good. Victory reminded me alot of The Great Escape. For awhile the movie didn't have a whole lot about soccer and I was getting disappointed. However, the ending of the film was great and it completely changed my initial opinion of the movie. Go see it!!" - Jason of SportsinMovies.com

"Very Good. This is a classic war movie more than being a soccer movie; however, with soccer as the backdrop, it is quite prominent and with stars such as Pele it is intended to be a soccer movie first. Stallone does his usual job of overacting and, even with the stars, the soccer scenes could be more realistic. The plot is excellent and the soccer theme is exciting. It's a must watch!!!" --Art

"Very Good. If you like movies about World War II, soccer, history and escape, then this is the movie for you. Be warned, soccer is the icing on the cake....and not the cake. Entertaining and not over the top. Based on a true story." --Jesse Felzien
