Being A West Ham Fan - I wasn't impressed.

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2006)

I'm a big fan of The Football Factory, a superior movie about football hooligans, released a year or so earlier. Green Street doesn't even come close. For one, all the cast in TFF were proper Cockneys. London Boys. Danny Dyer is cockney through and through. Charlie Hunnan - your accent was awful. Don't get me wrong - you can act, but my god, your accent was all over the place. It really affects the authencity of the movie. But still, Green Street has all the typical fights, coarse swearing and beer swilling that TFF had, and its not so terrible you don't enjoy the scuffles. But for me it just seemed in parts completely improbable. The ending for starters...
***SPOILERS***
I didn't realise Bank was running distance from the Docklands... How does Claire Forlani know where the big fight occurs? Why does everyone STOP fighting once Pete is killed by Tommy? Wasn't that the point?
Yeah, there's loads more I could pick at. Rent it, you might enjoy it more than me.
