I'm not such a big fan of British movies. There have been a few good movies like Lock stock and two smoking barrels, Snatch and some of the James Bond movies. I didn't expect it too be good, but it was very entertaining. It deals with a never before seen in a movie topic, Football Hooligans. There also has been another release the following year Green Street Hooligans, which was a Great Film. Football Factory does entertain and is packed with Violence and Humour. The problem with this movie is it promotes Hooliganism in some ways. They made it look like its fun to be a hooligan and its fun to beat up people. Yeah, its fun to watch it on DVD, I enjoy watching violence, but a movie should point out a message. Green Street Holigans worked, because the ending had a message. Football Factory narrates to us Is it Worth It? and at the end, the answer is Of Course it Was. It's funny, but can be a bad influence on some people. The acting was decent. Danny Dyer delivers a good performance. Frank Harper tries to act like Joe Pesci in Casino/Goodfellas and does a good job of it. This movie is a good time pass
