Rating: 3/10 (12 April 2019)

Director Alan Clarke who made the seminal film about football hooliganism The Firm has nothing to worry about from Green Street. Probably because he has been dead since 1990.
Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) is a journalism student in Harvard. He is expelled because a stash of cocaine is found in his room. It actually belongs to his roommate who has powerful connections. So Matt takes the fall.
Matt decides to visit his sister in London. His brother in law hooks Matt up with his brother Pete (Charlie Hunnam) to watch a West Ham match. Trouble is Pete is a football hooligan and pretty soon Matt gets hooked in the buzz of the gang punch ups they get involved in.
British football has been mired with hooliganism issues since the 1970s. Green Street seems to be more interested in glorifying violence almost making it look like fun. The story is cliched and one dimensional.
