Explosive and powerful insight into football violence

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2006)

I had no idea that this world even existed. I am like the Elijah Wood character and this world is revealed to me as it is to him. The characters are very believable and the plot unpredictable and all consuming. The support cast is outstanding but Charlie Hunnam is the real start of this movie. His on screen power is dynamic. Expect big things to come from this guy. A world of extreme violence with it's own rules and code of conduct. A world of madness that parallels our own. I doubt if such brotherhood exists outside of war. The best lines come from Elijah Wood with "it's not knowing that they have your back, it's knowing that you have theirs" or "and the violence, ... it kind of grew on me". I highly recommend watching the movie with the English subtitles on. I missed so much the first time through. Rarely do I watch a movie twice in a row and this was a three in a row movie. A must see movie.
