Warning: Spoilers
David Kross was very believable as Bert Trautman.

I know with biopics you have to take some of the dramatic "reconstructions" with a pinch of salt but there were some uncomfortable moments drafted into this film for the sake of manipulating the viewers sympathies.

Anyone who knows who Bert Trautman was knows this is all leading up to the 1956 FA Cup Final.

This was very well portrayed and the stadium and game reconstructions were excellent, but they just had to over dramatise Trautman's injury. It didn't need it. The real footage is on YouTube, so tell it like it was ... don't add to the drama that was enough in itself.
