    Awful, truly disgraceful

    Potentially the worst film I have ever seen. The lead character is completely vacuous, there's no story, substance, interest in this film whatsoever.

    Rise of the foot soldier

    Thoroughly enjoyed this film!

    If you like Greenstreet, Football Factory and This is England then you should like this.

    This film is based on a true story, and it portray's a realistic image of the clubland of the 80's and 90's.

    It has a few laughs but is generally a gritty behind the scenes story of the life of the 'Bouncers' of that time.
