Amazing film... ignore the bad reviews!

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2006)

First of all, a note to warn you of the bad reviews. Why take the opinion of people who have never been to a football match, never met a fan of football and never grew up during an age and environment where GSE and the like where at large every Saturday during the football Season? Now for this film! Wow! The atmosphere of this film sets the tones that was accompanying the dark side of football during the 1980's in the United Kingdom. In fact not so long ago, about 2001, I witnessed the frightening sight of seeing as mass football riot between the "hardcore" of Swansea and Bristol (I will not say which Bristol team to not cause offence). Like the film shows it is extremely violent, they do get straight back up to continue fighting, the constant use of the worse language is present. It is all captured here. These gangs CAN be run by 22 year olds, despite some other saying it makes the film unrealistic! These people ARE in normal jobs! They ARE family men! If you want to watch this film, then under no circumstances expect a "nice" film, it is very hard hitting! But that is just the thing that Hollywood would not dare to portray... real life, and it is a lot scarier, gripping and wonderfully accurate than the make belief worlds of Steven Spielberg and co.
Still ain't seen a 10/10, but I have only rated two films 9/10. The other 9/10...? The Second Coming, a 2-Part TV drama made for the UK's ITV network!
