What a Movie!!

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2008)

What an amazing movie. Charlie Hunnam and Elijah Wood were incredible in this film about friendship, honor, and knowing when to stand your ground, and when to walk away. One of my favorite aspects of the film was how most of it was focused on the violence of the Football Firms. It didn't butter it up for views. Instead they left the raw, in-your-face intensity that hooligans are known for, in the movie. It was really a focal point of how completely bashing another firm wasn't simply because they hated each other, but strictly from a respect point of view (with a few exceptions) The story of Matt Buckner really puts into a perspective about how a person in a new place, only knowing a few people, will do anything to be excepted.
Overall I would give this movie a 9/10 for a great story, a great theme, and some great one liners from Charlie Hunnam. Make it a point to see this movie
