Worth a watch

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2015)

The film is about football violence between firms from West Ham and Milwall and has enough factual basis to make the plot remotely plausible.
Unfortunately, the actor playing the lead thug, Pete, puts on an awful East End accent - nearly bad enough to make me switch off. A big shame as this takes a lot away from the film. Perhaps, for those not familiar with London accents, this may not be such an issue. (Since watching I've found that this has been a major point of criticism).
It's refreshing that the story is presented without over-moralising. There is a hint of twee-ness in places but I found it to be at a level that's acceptable - after all, its a work of fiction not a pseudo- documentary. This film isn't the formulaic rubbish that is dominant now - it retains a grittiness to the end and is well worth a butchers.
