The best film about football (its not called soccer)

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2006)

Nick Love's study of obsession of football and hooliganism in the English lower social classes is extremely gritty, realistic and awesome. The characters are very interesting, the screenplay is brilliant, everything about it is just realistic and very well done. It doesn't try to play nice, it doesn't take sides, just shows what goes on. I like the style of film-making, similar to that of Layer Cake and sort of Ritchie's Snatch. I liked this film a lot, one of my instant favorites, and Danny Dyers performance was very good. I liked the real cinematography which made it feel very realistic, similar to that of Justin Lin in Better Luck Tomorrow. 10/10
