SO REAL ITS Scary

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2005)

If I had not lived in the UK, this film would have been lost on me, and I would have said it was an over exaggerated view on football hooligans. But its not. Its so realistic it sent shivers down my spine. I remember when I lived in North London, deeply dived between Arsenal and Tottenham fans, the pubs would sometimes be the location of some rather bloody fights. There are many Billy Brights. The acting was great. They nailed the tension and hate, and the mannerisms of bored, alcohol fueled, football louts, who's only fun in life is to get drunk and beat the s**t of each other. Nick Love did a great job and I can't wait to see another film made by him.
