The story should have added up to an interesting and exciting movie, but it didn't for me. It was not due to Sheen's acting, but rather to a boring and confusing script. Ed Koch. Two things that the British know that most Americans don't: Michael Sheen is the best actor in the English-speaking world; and soccer is the only football that matters. Joe Williams. The Damned United is a most entertaining study in obsession wrapped in a traditional sports movie. Roger Moore. The Damned United is a thoughtful and entertaining study on the perils of ambition that has little to do with soccer and a lot to do with being human. Tom Long. One of [its] primary pleasures Christopher Orr. A finely constructed and fiercely entertaining soccer movie that deals more in pride and obsession than penalty kicks. Chris Vognar. A superb sports film, based on the best-selling book by David Peace. Leigh Paatsch. The Damned United proves that Sheen is fully capable of carrying his own film. David Harris. The searing drama amasses its considerable force the old-fashioned way; The Damned Utd earns its wings by virtue of impeccable performances, strong direction and a stellar screenplay. Dan DiNicola. It's entertaining even if you don't quite follow all of the intricacies of the game, mostly thanks to the boisterous cast. Kelly Jane Torrance. The Damned United is a populist - at times, almost cartoonish - attempt to make comprehensible the story behind Brian Clough's ill-fated day tenure at Leeds United. PJ Nabarro. For once we have a The Damned Utd in which learning humility --learning that ambition can be as self-defeating a force as laziness given faulty motivation -- is the point of the film and not some short stop on the way to a thunderous comeback.

Nov 21, Violet wells The Damned Utd it really liked it Shelves: contemporary- british-fiction21st-century. During my gap year I worked as a nanny. My ward was a The Damned Utd shy and emotionally inhibited young boy. One of my tasks was to take him to watch Chelsea FC play. The first game we went to together was an evening kick off. What I remember is the otherworldly green of The Damned Utd grass under the floodlights, the almost phosphorescent white glow of the chalk lines. But most of all what I remember is the uninhibited joy of my ward when Chelsea scored. We became the best of friends after that evening. Wh During my gap year I worked as a nanny. Peace does a fantastic job of ventriloquism in The Damned Utd what feels like an authentic voice for Clough. The sweat and the mud, the liniment and the grease. The steam and the soap, the sewer and the shampoo. It's a brilliant character study of hubris, of a man being his own worst enemy. He wanted and needed to be loved The Damned Utd the working people. The Damned Utd wanted to be a kind of Robin Hood. View all 11 comments. Mar 08, Toby rated it really The Damned Utd it Shelves: litfootball. A remarkable piece of historical literature that just so happens to be centred in the world of English football. David Peace is clearly an exceptionally talented writer of semi-noir stories. His Red Riding Quartet being the darkest, bleakest, deepest black that the modern take on the genre gets. And on the face of it a fictional tale of a high profile sports personality from s England doesn't automatically lead you in that direction. His portrait of Brian Clough however ticks the majority of A remarkable piece of historical literature that just so happens to be centred in the world of English football. His The Damned Utd of Brian Clough however ticks the majority of the boxes required of a noir protagonist and it is this portrait that lifts this novel head and shoulders above all other books about football and perhaps The Damned Utd, as The Times said in its review, every novel ever written about sport. Forty-four days in the life of a disturbed genius. Forty-four chapters of self-loathing and doubt interspersed with examples of his brilliance and an almost biographical look at how it was that Brian Clough came to be in the position he found himself in. It plays out with a sense of inevitability, the kind of relentless and futile struggle that you might find in such classic B-movie noirs as Detour and the kind of psychological study of human nature that wouldn't be out of place next to the great names of 20th century literature, like Graham Greene perhaps. Peace really finds Clough amongst these The Damned Utd, contrasting his speech patterns with his inner monologue to enhance the troubled genius aspect of him, a constant repetition of words and phrases highlighting the driven nature of the man and again this skill is what marks Peace out as the award winning talent that he is.
