Danny Cannon

The Profile

British film and television director and producer, known for directing Judge Dredd (1995) and Goal! (2005) and for work in television production.

Directed the films Judge Dredd (1995) and Goal! (2005); has worked in television as a director and producer.

The available review (Caravan) criticizes Goal! as a glossy, cliché-ridden Hollywood take on football, contrasting it unfavourably with older Italian soccer comedies. The reviewer gives the film a 2/5 and expresses skepticism about modernized revivals of past glories. The review highlights plot elements (asthma, family, rise to Premier League) and finds the film overly showy.
