Americanised and unconvincing

Rating: 4/10 (24 May 2006)

As I come from Europe and a country where people are mad about football (soccer for Americans)and that has it's share of brutal conflicts between rival fans I was very interested to see how a Hollywood movie on that subject would look like. and as expected it was disappointing. the first flaw is the story, I mean it's just stupid and irritating, why does everything, for Americans, have to have some higher purpose!? the second thing I didn't like was Elijah Wood, man find yourself another hobbit story or something similar, because being a tough guy is not your thing. the only positive thing I can single out from this movie are the pretty convincing fight scenes.
if you want a good movie on this subject see an English movie called Football factory.
