Product Description
From locker room to boardroom, All In The Game rips open the underbelly of our national game to reveal the seedy and cut-throat dealings of a fictional Premiership club. Here, money and power are the driving forces behind the game. Local hero and football manager Frankie (Ray Winstone) is torn between loyalty to his son (Danny Dyer) and the club he loves. But when his son's underhand negotiations look set to make him a fortune, the pressure hots up and the game is almost forgotten. Greed and manipulation replace football, and relationships between fan and club, player and manager, and father and son all break down. There are no heroes in this game.

'All in the game' is not a film to watch for the acting ablities of the otherwise talented cast, however if the film took itself too seriously and tried for oscar winning performances it would lose its raw effectiveness of explaining the way football has evolved into a greed driven culture.
I would agree with anyone in saying the acting is a tad over the top and lacking finesse, however considering the subject matter this film perfectly captures the way some who are involved in football for a living feel they have an invincibility element built into them which holds them above the law.
'All in the Game' perfectly shows the tussles between the club owner with his ultimate good intentions (despite his flaws) and the football manager who feels he is bigger than god.
It throws opens the behind the scenes tactics and the human cattle market that surrounds a large modern day football club and will have some of the wheeler dealers within the game crawling back under the rock they came from.All In The Game [DVD] [2006]

Absorbing. If you like Ray Winstone and football, but are slightly cynical about our beautiful game, then this is a must. Fantastically written, and wonderfully directed, a real treat.

This is a proper behind the scenes type of film, it shows the brutality of what happens behind closed doors. Ray Winstone does a great job too.

Good old Ray Winstone, overdone accent, overdone acting, however he produces moments of real class acting.

Well wide of the mark
Okay, so the good thing about Ray Winstone, is that he's an intense performer. You cannot fault his energy and passion, though sometimes, when the writing isn't strong enough he... Read more
