Kicking Off begins with the season’s most crucial match. Devoted supporters Wigsy and Cliff anxiously watch as their football team scores the goal that would prevent their relegation. The thrill of victory fills the air as fans cheer and weep with joy. But this wave of happiness quickly sours when the referee nullifies the crucial goal. With adrenaline surging and anger boiling, the fans decide to take action themselves, and Cliff makes the grave error of concocting a plan while under the influence. Wigsy, known for his foolishness, carries out the plan, and in the dead of night, he commits an act that spirals into chaos and disaster for both him and his close friend Cliff. Kicking Off is skillfully shot with split screens and slow-motion sequences. The characters are endearing ruffians who will have you both laughing and cringing at their lack of judgment. The beautiful game has taken a turn for the worse.
