Watch The Football Factory instead....

Rating: 2/10 (3 January 2006)

When i first saw this film i thought it was a joke. The plot, characters and acting is so unbelievable that you would be mistaken that it was a parody of football factory with terrible "mockney" accents and difficult swaggering. Mark Warren is great in this but wasted with this character, he should have been the villain of the piece. Largely this movie is un-thought out with massive generalisations. When West Ham rumble Manchester Utd they all swagger off celebrating to the music of The stone Roses (an iconic "madchester" band). I didn't care one bit about the characters in this movie. Wood joins the firm far to early in the story in my opinion thus throwing the film onto a predictable story path. The casting is all wrong as the lead is in fact a Geordie trying to do a cockney accent this "acting by numbers" is what put me off the movie all in all. This movie makes no sense from what is generally a senseless past time which is Football hooliganism.
