fantastic factory

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2005)

I thought this movie was awesome. Its basically summed it up really, go out and get a copy if you haven't done so already. If you look at it and all you've seen is blood and violence and it puts you off then i say you should look past that. This movie has a much deeper meaning than just the unnecessary violence. The movie is told through the eyes of Tommy Johnson, a sound geezer who loves to beat people up on a Saturday, but throughout he is trying to find meanings and answers to his actions which take him on more journeys in the movie. Yes, this movie does tend to glamorise hooliganism, with no holds to its violence and in no way does it try to demoralise it other than showing you the damage conflicted to others, but it is what may even be referred to as a 'cult' classic, Nick Love has dared to go where no other directors have gone before and produced a masterpiece balancing the best of the authentic fights to the deeper more passionate story lines. This is Englands worst nightmare? No, its Englands misunderstood dream.
