Intriguing look into Hooligan life but excessive fight scenes...

Rating: 7/10 (29 September 2005)

The story grabs you and takes you along for the ride. Excellent cinematography of Britian. Good acting - quite believable - except maybe the toughness of Wood. I found it entertaining but parts were unrealistic.
The fight scenes were necessary but I would have appreciated a little more background on hooligans in general. What did they do outside of hooliganism? How did they get into it in the first place? Did they even follow the team and players or just show up for fights? How did the general public or even their fellow team's fans view these hooligans? The film is worth seeing but it falls short of a classic.
