The story is boring,the acting is rubbish and the plot is all over the place.

Rating: 3/10 (7 February 2006)

I decided to rent this film out on DVD and by the end of viewing wished I hadn't bothered. The story is boring,the acting is rubbish and the story is disjointed. The lead character is a lad in his late twenties called Tommy who through narration tells us his points of view on life and how he lives it. Life, which include fighting football hooligans, drinking alcohol with his mates and getting laid. The odd thing is you never actually see him hit anybody and he never has sex throughout the movie. This juvenile attitude continues on and through to the main basis of the film which is a scrap between Chelsea and Milwall fans. Other subjects added into the plot are lots of drug taking(even by pensioners)robbing of peoples homes and confusing a psychic predictions of the future. All of this with sentences that start and end with the words f**k and c**t. I was bewildered by the bits where Tommy and his hooligan friends are on their way to a football match in Liverpool. They first stop on a road in the middle of nowhere, presumable Liverpool, scream and shout at some locals, then their back on the motorway and stopping at a service station?? How big is this Liverpool. And why after being arrested at a service station up north somewhere they are tried at a court in London?? The filmmakers have embarrassingly ripped off scenes from other movies including Goodfellas, American history X and Ttrainspotting. The main psycho hard man of the film is just a fat slob who after throwing a couple of punchers would probable have a heart attack,Tommys best mate Rod is simple and dull,the rest of the characters bring nothing to the story of how and why they are their.I found this movie just a load of juvenile nonsense from start to finish ,If your looking for really scenes of bruising football violence with a plot you wont find it in The football factory.
