Come and have a go...

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2004)

At long last a decent film about one of the most misunderstood sub cultures of recent times...the football hooligan.
The film follows four Chelsea headhunters as they endeavour to maintain their status as the number one firm in England (they were not ever number 1 by they way) the ultimate climax to the film is a meeting with Millwall which i have to admit is executed with stark realism - the sense of anticipation, the bouncing around, the shouting which all carries on for a few minutes before anyone is actually game enough to get stuck in first. There is all the usuall moral and anti-social questions in amongst a fairly simplistic narrative that follows a slightly awkward direction at times. I also got confused as to where some elements of the sub-plot was actually going.
All in all it's a treat for all you old school out there that now have mortgages and kids and look back on these times with myth and fondness. For all those who were never involved or understood the whole scene it's still a total blast to watch.
Come ahead you townies.......SF
