  Worth a watch
  
  Good footballl bits, but in the end it goes on too long and is the same story as nearly all the others, just had better actors in it to be honest.

  Great British film
  
  Excellent depiction of the culture of football violence during that period. If you enjoy the genre then this is a must see

  It really was like this
  
  Brought back memories of when the game of football was not the focal point of supporting a club rather an excuse for brainless violence. A well constructed ... read more »

  Boring, Kitchen sink drama
  
  Don't waste your time watching this sub standard Football Hooligan film that could have been a 1 hr TV drama on ITV 2.

  CRASS!
  
  First 15 minutes are ok but then Cass becomes nearly unwatchable.Employing people vaguely acquainted with the concept of acting would have been a start.

  West 'am!!!
  
  In the field of football hooligan films, Cass ranks somewhere in the middle, nowhere near as good as The Firm but not a stinker like Green Street.
