Oh dear

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2006)

I've lived in London twenty-three years, always been a football fan, though i've never beaten someone up at a game. But. This film is riddled with factual and artistic errors. The main 'hooligan' character has the stupidest cockney accent in history and is best known for playing the 15-year old lover of an Irishman. No-one seems to have any idea of the geography of London either, despite the fact that they're supposed to live there.
None of them seem to know anything about football either, which is odd, almost as if it was just a bunch of RADA-educated poseurs playing bad boys. Funny that.
And Elijah Wood as a hooligan? Hmmm.
