Goal

About This Movie

So, 'Goal' is an interesting piece, diving into the lives of two old crime buddies reuniting after some time apart – one freshly out of prison and the other trying to keep his nose clean with a legit business. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia, underscored by the backdrop of the 1987 Copa Libertadores final, which adds a unique cultural layer. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it works for the story they’re telling. The performances are solid; you can really feel the tension between their past and present. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain rawness to it that gives it a distinctive edge. Definitely has that old-school vibe, if you know what I mean.
