Amadeo is mostly unremarkable. But, he is great at foosball. One day, Amadeo is forced by his small town's bully to play against him in a game of foosball and wins, enraging the bully, who promises to get his revenge. When the bully returns to town years later, now a famous soccer player, he challenges Amadeo to a big rematch game, this time on the soccer field.

What are critics saying?

Empire by

The players are a colourful bunch, the film referencing is smart, the football satire sharp and there are delightful moments of visual imagination in the appealing animation.

Time Out London by Guy Lodge

Kids still experiencing World Cup withdrawal symptoms may be entertained by this animated oddity from Argentina.

The Guardian by Mike McCahill

Ping-ponging camera moves temporarily distract from the haphazard structuring and translation.

The Telegraph by Robbie Collin

In a memorably bad summer for children’s films, this, surely, is as low as things can sink.

Total Film by Tom Dawson

Impressively designed throughout, The Unbeatables also keeps the laughs kicking.
