Excellent Film. Very disturbing.

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2006)

I found this film unnervingly realistic. The acting was outstanding, I felt Elija Wood was very believable as the character who is easily led. I personally felt that this film had to be watched more than once to appreciate it properly. It was very disturbing to see the attitude of the characters in respect to the violence being of higher priority then the football itself. Considering I don't enjoy violent films I found that it was necessary in this movie and wasn't overdone. However, I did fell that football hooliganism as a subject was slightly romanticised. I would recommend this film to anyone who on occasions like to watch a dramatic movie. It was the kind of film that is in the back of your mind days after seeing it.
