Info

Two down on their luck Liverpool cabbies, Tommy and Gerry, strike an unusual deal with a local gangster to take their sons on a trip of a lifetime, to watch their beloved football team play in the European Cup Final in Istanbul. Hoping to use the trip as a chance to bond with their sons, big trouble awaits them in the form of a sexy hotel chambermaid, two ruthless crooks on a mission and a bag of counterfeit cash. It is 3-0 down at half time and things could not be more desperate both on and off the pitch. Stevie G and the boys in red are trying to launch the most amazing football comeback in history, and Tommy is in deep water, being held hostage. With the clock ticking and time running out, a miracle is needed fast. In the end a bit of faith, and Gerry’s lucky underpants may be the only thing that can get them and the cup back home in one piece.

One Night in Istanbul Audience Reviews

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
happycarrot68 Everything from the crowd scenes to the plot is wooden. Like many football films you really don't believe that the scenes involve genuine fans but just the extras that they are. Doesn't convince you that this is a match day atmosphere, so poorly adapted for the big screen. Is a stage play and comes across like that. Shame as a decent idea and as a football fan was hoping for a lot more. Rather than humour is a lot of unbelievable daftness that doesn't work. Might work in a theatre but not here.As football films go this is one of the worst. Not once are you convinced by the casts passion for football or excitement for the game ahead, similar to the screen adaption of Fever Pitch.
Indranil Sarkar This is simply an amazing movie. I loved every minute of it.Story of Four Liverpool Football fans and their Journey to see Liverpool FC at the European Cup final in Istanbul 2005. I am going to suggest Specially to all Liverpool FC Fans watch it but don't keep your expectations too high. This is a funny and charming comedy.The Movie Remind us that Great Night at Istanbul 2005. Truly funny and full of Joy and happiness. Very good football feature of the year. Also Nice to see Some of our Liverpool Legends in the movie too. For people with normal expectations, its a good movie and you will enjoy it and you can watch it with your family too. I am giving it one extra star because I am Liverpool fan too. I loved it and I think you will too. Liverpool fan or not!
simon-104-362134 You don't have to be a Liverpool fan to enjoy this light-hearted caper, you don't even have to like football, based on the reaction of those around me. Paul Barber is a legend and everything he is involved in seems to turn to gold, I think he is a fine, under-estimated actor. Although the film is about the Champions league Final in Istanbul in 2005 it is about the fans and the lengths they will go to to follow their team. It is about the passing down of this devotion from one generation to the next, as Tommy (Steve Waddington) and Gerry (Paul Barber) try to connect with their sons. Tommy 's own devotion having come from a strong bond with his granddad. The Liverpool fans are the twelfth man who through all adversity never gave up on their team and on their dreams. This is shown through the shenanigans of the boys and in parallel by footage of the actual fans in the stadium. All the stories, Hitlers Cufflinks, the lucky pants etc etc apparently came from the terraces. This is the fans story. It's British , it's funny , remember The Full Monty, Bend it Like Beckham, Brassed Off, well give it a go.
lisa-105-929382 Hilariously funny had me in tears of laughter Would recommend this film to anyone even if your not a football fan (as I am not) Cast was really well picked story line was brilliant The cross over from a play to a movie worked really well A must see movie This will appeal to young and old Family friendly story line 10/10 casting 10/10 Value for money 10/10 The underpants bit among others was excellent, Paul Barbar was great look out for the former football stars, there are some magical moments in this movie where I was like WOW that really happened. please go see this movie it will be a wise choice to spend a tenner, brilliant brilliant brilliant
