Great movie! It really gave the viewer a sense of our great game but showed some of the social issues that young sportsmen are faced with.ie.Binge drinking, pier pressure drug use,sports people being viewed as heros. The main characters are haunted by a lapse in judgement which ruins their dreams of reaching the big time. The storyline kept you intrigued as it revealed more detail with each flashback. Also loved Coach Changs stirring addresses to the team. The story has a happy ending as all is forgiven and they get "The band back together". I really enjoyed this independent Aussie Flick! Congratulation to all who had the courage to make the film. They should be applauded

I went to see this movie, after my cousin mentioned how much he enjoyed it. So I dragged my partner along,who was very happy to being seeing a sports movie instead of a chick flick for once, and we both really enjoyed it. I found it to be extremely motivational. Not being involved in sports growing up, I haven't ever been part of a team, so I found it very inspirational.My partner thought Angus was hilarious, and is still saying little quotes from the movie. Some of the emotional scenes impacted on me greatly, so much so that I got a bit teary. I laughed, I cried, I was motivated & inspired. I think if your looking for a movie that appeals to everyone on some level then this is it.

Just caught this movie last night - was pretty impressed by the overall product.A good honest tale, showing how mate-ship in Australia holds blokes together. Mistakes are made and the consequences of those mistakes are told throughout the film.Jack Thompson - shows why he is an acting icon of Australia, and Angus Sampson just makes me laugh every time I see him - Angus you star! This film brings back memories of my days as a footballer, this film hits a lot more heights than my footy career! If I had one criticism - No Spiderbait music!! Other than that small whine, I walked out the cinema happy.

Blinder is an uplifting movie with some great football action in it. It showed surprising depth and an emotional side many football movies fail to portray. It's raw look into how much one unforgivable night can tear up friendship, a team and a close football community is compelling. Anyone that has played any kind of team sport will relate to this movie in one way or another. The plot keeps you guessing and Angus Sampson's comedy relief will have you fits. Go and see it, even the Mrs will enjoy it. It's about time another football movie was released. Jack Thompson gives an amazing performance as coach Chang. Get down and support our local talent and ultimately our great game. 10/10
