An irresponsible film promoting a lifestyle of a bygone age

Rating: 2/10 (24 October 2009)

Let me say from the outset, I think football hooligans are cretins, neanderthal morons of the lowest order, and those who still persist in this kind of behaviour (thankfully not so many these days) have nothing to do with the beautiful game, they are not "fans" just thugs.
Nick Love's The Football Factory is nothing but a glamourising advert for sickening violence and thuggish behaviour.
Apart from the Dudley Sutton character, I had no sympathy for any of the others, it really was a film with few redeeming features, and now that Love has remade The Firm I wonder if he is only capable of making films that promote violence An irresponsible film, only enjoyed by those with a caveman mentality.
2/10
