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.

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

I watched this movie because I love football, but mostly because I love the passion of the fans. You can't really understand that if you never been part of this culture, being member of a side, firm, kop or whatever kind of hardcore fan. I watched this movie with apprehension though, as it's about Liverpool, and that's not exactly the team I would root for, in fact I hate their guts since the team that I support, Standard de Liège, lost unfairly against them in the Champions League. Add to that that Liverpool fans, the scousers, are known as thieving scumbags, so not really fans I have a high opinion of. When I was young I had some sympathy for the club though, Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish, and others, they had a team that made me dream, plus they had The Kop, a red and white wall of fans behind one of the goals, with their famous anthem You'll Never Walk Alone, a song sang by Gerry And The Pacemakers, that became popular in the stands, not only in the Merseyside but everywhere in stadiums with a decent fanbase. Everytime I hear that song I can't help it to think about mates that died during the years, people that were all passionate about the team we followed, it's a bit of a tear jerker. That all said this movie isn't only about football, it's about passion, friendship and determination. I liked it, made me remember the good old days, the eighties and early nineties, when I would have done anything to support my team everywhere with my mates. But even if you're not really into football it's a movie worth watching, with decent actors and a good emotional story.
Nothing can stand in the way of a will power. Before watching, i had some prejudice about this movie. First,I thought that it would be one of those one-sided movies but I was wrong.One may think that it is all about football or Liverpool. But it isn't. It is all about holding on to life.We all need something to hold on to.In this movie that something is football for an eleven year old kid who has almost lost all his hopes in everything.Each one of us find relief in different things, some go fishing , some do gardening, some lay on their backs all day dreaming ,but we all do something to relax. In this movie, you will find yourself.
