Soccer riots... hmmm.

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2006)

I just finished watching this on DVD and at first I was a bit taken aback by the way that they glamorized the violence, but then I got into the storyline a bit more and found it to be enjoyable. Who knew crazed football fans beating each other up could be so entertaining? If you like films about UK culture this is a must-watch. The cockney accents are hard to listen to at first, but as the film progresses you get used to it. They sound pretty authentic to me... although Charlie Hunnam has apparently been criticized for his work in this movie. Well, all the criticisms aside, I think this movie gave a good insight into "firms" and football riots. As the blurb on the back of the DVD said... there's so very, very much more.
