Will

Will is a story all about a 11 year old kid named Will(Perry Eggleton)and his struggle to reach Istanbul to watch his favourite team Liverpool play against AC Milan in the Champions league final.

Perry Eggleton has done a decent job as Will, Damien Lewis as Will's father has very small role but does a good job and Kristian Kiehling as Alek who helps Will in his journey has also done good job. Kenny Dalglish did a great job and showed in his brief cameo that he can act but Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher in their cameos showed that they don't have an alternate career in acting. Overall acting was decent but not overly impressed by anyone.

I would have to say biggest flaw about this movie is its script which is very weak and certain dialogues were good but actors did terrible job in executing them right. Cinematography was great and great soundtracks too and when "You'll never walk alone" was played it gave me goosebumps. Certain scenes were very emotional and surprisingly good.

Its a great movie to watch if you are a Liverpool fan but average for the neutrals and non football fans. I would suggest anyone to watch it but don't keep your expectations too high otherwise you will be disappointed. For people with normal expectations, its a good movie and you will enjoy it and you can watch it with your family too. I am giving it one extra star because i am Liverpool fan too.

Will is an odd film of a 11 year old boy called Will (Perry Eggleton), whose father has died and he attempts to make his way to Istanbul to watch Liverpool play AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final.

Damien Lewis and Bob Hoskins make cameo appearances. I did think that a 11 year old boy setting out for a journey across Europe alone rather filled me with horror.

Of course before long Will loses his tickets to crooks in Paris but meets an ex Yugoslav footballer and together they set out to Istanbul.

Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher also make cameo appearances.

Now the 2005 Champions League final will go down in history as one of the all time great finals. Yet the film finishes before the match starts so we are deprived of the footage of Liverpool's comeback as they secured their fifth European Cup and getting to keep the actual trophy with their victory in penalties.

It is essentially a road movie, slightly sentimental, even a bit surreal. It leads to a feel good climax unless you are an AC Milan fan but it is still a slight film.

they don't make many movies with a soccer story line to them.

i just finished watching will. runs a very close 2nd to the cup for favorite soccer movies.

i saw it as a soccer theme movie but with a Charlie and the chocolate factory flavor. a very delightful. heart warming movie that also includes pain and sorrow. its rated pg and a great family movie. well worth the watch great timing also with the world cup less than 2 weeks away.

the kids are sure to enjoy this film along with the cup and bend it like Beckham

Well, it's not only for football fans (sorry, American mates, it's not "soccer"!). It's not only if you are a proud "RED-MAN" (like myself), a supporter of the MIGHTY LIVERPOOL FC.!!!... ...It's a family movie. You can watch it, no matter what.

It's not perfect film, no question about it. But is emotional, is dramatic, is good to watch it.

Obviously... if you're a football fan... and even more, if you are a LIVERPOOL FC supporter... you won't stop crying, at the end of the film - I couldn't. I remember every single second of these MAGNIFICENT three days in Istanbul; these days that changed my life for ever... ...I understood that except my true family (parents, sister, etc), I have also A HUGE "RED family", so proud, so magnificent, so magic.

I remember all... And I do remember the long way back (from stadium, many-many miles away from the city), by foot (!) - because we've lost the bus - and arrived in Istanbul early hours of next morning... without feeling tired, without any thought of sleep... just a remarkable joy, like we have conquered the universe!!!

...You'll taste a bit of it, in this film. You'll taste a bit of OUR PRIDE, OUR "RED" ONE!

"YNWA"... as always, my Liverpool!

This is simply an amazing movie, I loved every minute of it. With 12 grandchildren to entertain, it's often difficult to find a film suitable for all to enjoy and learn from. This film has it all, beautiful locations, superb script, and wonderful acting from a great cast. I must single out the youngest cast member for particular praise. Perry Eggleton, starring in his first major film role, gives a riveting performance as Will. His emotional and expressive range are truly moving and quite fantastic for one so young. I predict a great career ahead for this talented young actor. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates an wonderful cinematic experience.
