Awful awful film

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2005)

God...where to start...the awful accents, the trite characters, the 80s images of what football violence was like, the ridiculous notion that being a soccer thug is anything more than retarded tribalism and that saying "stand your ground" makes you somehow more of a man and a better person...
You want a football violence movie that's even half decent? Rent "The Firm", or "Football Factory" or,at a push "I.D.". They at least give a bit more insight into the people behind the violence and a sight of exactly what the consequences of that violence is.
Instead we get a Hollywood star who looks so out of place playing a soccer thug, and a lead whose accent makes Dick van Dyke look like a real Eastender. Avoid this lily liver-ed pontification featuring two leading men who are about as threatening as wet lettuce.
