Comments: Football has been poorly served by the cinema to date. "The Damned United" goes a long way to rectifying that. A bravura performance from Michael Sheen as Brian Clough and a faithful, intelligent screenplay by Peter Morgan combine with a well chosen storyline to deliver a convincing tale. Crucially, this is not a film about football, it uses football as a framework for ambition, greed, success, failure, friendship and love.
