Local football fan Ben<br />

Gallacher has bravely<br />

admitted to watching this<br />

film. He told me:<br />

“I heard all of <strong>the</strong> bad<br />

press it was getting, so I<br />

thought I would give it<br />

a watch. It can’t be that<br />

bad. I was wrong.”<br />

With Tim Roth starring as<br />

Sepp Blatter, you would<br />

be forgiven for believing<br />

that <strong>the</strong> film may be a<br />

decent watch. Some o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

big names do appear but<br />

not even Bryan Cranston<br />

could save it (if he were<br />

daft enough to be in it).<br />

ScotScore Podcast host,<br />

Scott Bradley, also had<br />

this to say:<br />

“Having watched ‘United<br />

Passions’, I have to say<br />

that it is nothing more<br />

than a propaganda-fest<br />

that was released at <strong>the</strong><br />

wrong time. They tried<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir best to sway public<br />

Review<br />

perception of <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

but it could not be done.”<br />

The entire film is something<br />

that you would<br />

expect North Korea<br />

to release. It is blatant<br />

propaganda and will quite<br />

rightly go down as on <strong>the</strong><br />

worst films ever made.<br />
