Saw this a SXSW

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2005)

I was lucky enough to see Hooligans while in Austin, TX attending the SXSW film festival. I'm really glad I did because as far as I know it hasn't gotten wide release yet which is a shame. I'd go see it again if it gets a theatrical release.
Although the story is very "fight intense" the characters were rich and fully developed and made you care about whether they got hurt or won or loss. And although Elijah Wood was the lead and gave an outstanding performance, I think it was really Charlie Hunnam's performance that was the break out of the film. He WILL be a star if given the opportunity.
Overall I'd have to say it was a great indie flick!
