This is an absolute must watch for fans of Liverpool football club. It is a 45 minute film based around what happened in the dressing room in Istanbul at half time when Liverpool were 3-0 down to AC Milan. It is CCTV footage passed by a Turkish Security guard for cash, and is of course not even remotely based on reality. The premise is to make fun of everything all Liverpool fans know (poor players, Everton being bitter, United's despair and inferiority complex to Liverpool) - it even makes fun of some players who were there (Kewell, Traore, Garcia to name a few), and the depiction of Gary Neville (as rat-boy) and Ferguson guzzling whiskey is hilarious. For me the funniest scenes are from the "Bitter and Twisted" Pub, full of Everton fans, who start glassing the screen and going ballistic as the comeback starts. In the dressing room, Rafa drops to his knees praying, and in walks Didi Hamman, as some sort of saviour figure (the actual Didi Hamman). That's where this film really scores, despite the real "close to the bone" humour, Gerrard and Carragher star in it as themselves. Carra's Dad is even in it, booting Harry Kewell on the floor and joining in a mass brawl before stealing some gold.
Absolute class if you support LFC and are familiar with the rivalries, the only criticism is the film doesn't last for 90 minutes.
