Worth a watch...

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2009)

I thought this film was an interesting take on the darker side of football. It did make me empathise with the characters, and was well shot and acted. My one criticism was that at the end of the film I wasn't convinced by the lesson it was trying to teach. I thought it deserved a 7 out of 10 however because it was a relatively original subject, for me at least, and I was convinced by the acting. I thought I would find Elijah Wood annoying in the lead role, but he actually did a great job - definitely a good attempt to get away from the Frodo image!
If you like football then I'd recommend watching this, and if you don't know anything about football do give it a go but please bear in mind that not all fans are like this!
