Bad/Cheezy Movie

Rating: 4/10 (1 September 2007)

This movie was a really bad attempt at trying to mix both the glamour of extreme sportsmanship in the UK with the brutality and violence of gangs in the US while also mixing in the drama and seriousness often associated with Greek tragedies. I did not feel the least bit persuaded that the main character was any kind of a hero with dignity and instead associated him with stupidity. Also, I didn't think that it was possible for me to find gangs as being anymore pitiful than I did already prior to seeing this movie. It was way too melodramatic for a movie that's really about a bunch of sports fanatics. The ending brought a little bit of amusement, although it was also a little too weak. The tagline for this movie should be, "And you thought gangs were pathetic before..."
