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.

An excellent movie. A truly inspirational movie. The name 'Will' epitomes the movie perfectly. If you have WILL, you can do anything. For a boy whose everything is lost, he still has everything he needs, his passion for football. The movie also brings the good side of football supporters to the fore. In today's world where everyone is divided either by race or religion or ethnicity or political point of view, this movie shows that all these things can be forgotten when there is a football match on. Football has this amazing power of bringing people together and this is shown brilliantly in the film. The initial scenes in which Will runs away from his school and the help of his mates they hilarious and brings the lighter side in an extremely emotional movie. You will cry, laugh, get excited, and get goose bumps while watching the movie. Although this is a football related movie, but it also teaches us a lesson in every walk of life "Never get fever in the way of your dreams".

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.

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.

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.
