The FIFA movie with Tim Roth came out today. It has gotten panned by everyone INCULDING the director. Anyone know of anywhere where it is showing? I just want to see how awful it is.

It's playing at Cinema Village near Union Square.

The movie got 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. And made $607 in the box office.

I thought I read that they already pulled the plug on showing it because of the scandal

Hadn't heard that, but I did read that it made like $600 on its opening weekend. FIFA would have made more money and got better PR if they had just set up a couple lemonade stands.

I may have misread it in newsday this afternoon

Even the director didn't like it.

Here's the original summary, which has since been changed:

The saga of the World cup and the three wholly honest and deeply ethical men who created it

 

[Z4CH3B99]

The opening screening of the movie in LA attracted a whopping 2 people! One of them was a soccer fan, the other was a person who went to see it out of curiosity

It's supposed to be all propaganda from what I've read.

It is available on the internet i believe.

It is well worth watching only to get the scale of self importance and delusion those guys operated under.

There is actually a decent film about the development of international football worth making but this is not it nor anywhere near it.

Tim Roth and Sam Neill, why?

I'll not argue but its not like they are short of it.
A little piece of your faith in humanity crumbles away when you see that.

FIFA should bribe people to go to the movie.
