One hell of a way to do 50th review .

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2006)

Green Street Hooligans is well on its way to becoming a cult classic. The film simply kicks ass to say the least . The great thing about it is that it views the subject of football hooligan's through the eyes of a complete stranger who is not well used to this kind of life. This film is one hell of a roller coaster ride that waste no time getting into the action . Being that it is the World Cup and being an England fan I had decided to check this out giving the reputation English football fans have although oddly enough they have been very well mannered during all of England's games ! The film actually explains what the structure and the violent nature of the firms that go these matches just to cause trouble . The material is nitty-gritty , no holds barred fun which at times one could say that hypes up violence. But the absolute brilliant thing is that is portrays hooligans as human beings rather complete mindless thugs . The acting is top notch , Elijah Wood shows a brilliant show of a mousy , geeky nerd who then transforms into one of the boys who will stop at nothing to show how loyal he is to the football hooligans code of honour , Charlie Huuman also kicked ass showing us a fearless gang leader he is and Danny boy from Hustle proved that he is a talented actor and Jake from Eastenders popped his head in . My only regret is that I did not check this movie out any sooner , however my piece of advice would be that you should not check this out as a football movie , just take the ride with Elijah Wood and you will see that you shall be able to relate to him . I mean at the end of the day have not we all wanted to be part of something ! to be accepted ! these groups are like a social out let for these guys . A must see for all soon to be a cult classic .
GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS - 8.8 OUT OF 10
