Read More The raw emotion in this film is amazing. And, though it is not for the young or fainthearted, if you have any interest at all in this facinating subculture that could never exist here in the states, then this is a film you should check out.

Read More I'm not really that big of an elijah Wood fan but I found this movie very entertaining. I learned some things about the "football" hooligans that I never knew before. The storyline was just above a grade school level but it was fun to watch regardless. I would surely watch it again. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This film is about a LOT more than hooligans. A rare treat, this film makes so subtle an impression that one ends up having been moved, affected, without knowing precisely when/how it happened. The song, "One Blood" is so strong, so eloquently and simply stated a summary, that it deserves Grammy consideration. So do yourself a favor, see the film fo ryourself. Perhaps you'll be one of the naysayers afterwards... or maybe you'll see mor ethan they did. Either way, you'll have made up your own mind, rather than having your opinion handed to you.

So different for him and it showed his range fantastically. There isn't so much violence. Big deal, people get beat up. Watch Final Destination 3 and you'll be throwing up from the violence and gore. I really got into these characters and why they felt the need to be stronger than others. If you've ever been picked on in school, you'll understand how they feel. Not that it makes it right but that's the mind set and it's a reality. Loved it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Another impossible to understand (ie.the actors dialogue is garbled to me) UK film with little redeeming value..Elijah Wood is totally miscast as a new tough hooligan... his fight scenes look like kids "fighting on the school-yard. He is hardly a realistic tough guy. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It's nicely shot, the actors are great, but it's just plain stupid. They're fighting over loyalty to a soccer team. Plus, the fish out of water that gets absorbed and accepted by the thugish gangs is 4'11'' and 125 pounds while wet and wearing boots. The story just gets harder to swallow from there, reaching the climax of abusdity when Claire Forlane's character decides to save the day by taking her baby and putting herself in middle of the crucial melee. Turn off your brain and endulge your bravado, there's not much here to appease thought or logic. I'd probably rent the latest UFC video instead, at least that's real.

SKIP THIS FLICK!
Man, if someone had told me when I was watching Elijah Wood (frodo) in LOTR that he would one day be in a dreadful, pointless movie that promotes needless violence while highlighting his inability to act, I would have replied, "yeah, that sounds about right."
