A realistic, involving portrayal of British football hooligan 'firms.'

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2005)

Being a football fan myself, I was naturally drawn to this story of hooliganism and its effects... I expected it to be no more than mediocre. Quite frankly, however, it's one of the top 10 best films I have ever seen. There are some amazing performances, particularly from Charlie Hunnam, and even Elijah Wood proves to the world that he's more than just, "Mr Frodo." Some graphic scenes and an emotional script, mixed in with a kind of gritty realism in every scene throughout the film makes it both highly involving and thought provoking. When I saw football factory, I thought it was a highly impressive film - in my opinion, this whoops the shite out of it. Impressive in both its genre and a wider field, Green Street is a must see.
