Let me preface this by saying that I am not familiar with Maradona's history as I am anything but a football fan. I really appreciate Marco Risi as a director, but this film, despite having the clear claim to be aimed at a general audience, given the scale of the subject matter, left me with little other than biographical hints about the famous footballer. Generally questionable actors, a rambling pace and a general perceived emotional detachment of the director from the content make _Maradona - La mano de Dios_ an utterly forgettable film. The bar has probably been raised a little too high here.
