you have got to be kidding me

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2005)

this film is DIRE. It is the worst film i've seen in a long time due to bad casting and shawdy directing. Americans will lap it up because the don't have any concept of a real cockney accent but Charlie Hunnam is terrible. His accent is a cross between American and Australian. He walks with a stupid stereotypical swagger and clearly knows nothing of the cockney accent. He's almost as bad as Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. It absolutely glorifies football violence by making it seem like what they are fighting for is 'just' and 'true'. The character of Elijah Wood is totally UNBELIEVABLE. Think about it... No, no.. Think about it... Think about how this Harvard student just happens to fall into the GSE after seeing one football match. Knows nothing about football, has never hit anyone in his life just suddenly starts beating the sh*t out of people? His narrative sounds like hes asking his mum for a biscuit. PILE OF CRAP... Any British person who knows anything about realistic football violence will be offended by this film.
This film is made for Americans. CRAP .
