Common Sense Media Editors

But in terms of pure nostalgia and its sense of fun, Victory has aged surprisingly well as a boys' own adventure played out by the alpha males of its day.

Intermittently entertaining if also exceedingly imbecilic.

This adventure story offers an epic possibility that John Huston knew how to develop to the max. [Full Review in Spanish]

Huston, showing admirable range in his old age, creates enough on-field magic and nostalgia for the beatiful game as an idyll of now-extinct sportsmanship.
