My film of the year !
Went to see it in the cinema last night and thought it was absolutely superb - the best football violence film I've seen by a country mile.
It was funny, brutal, had a killer soundtrack (as every great film should have) and I loved the old school tracksuits and trainers from the early 80's ! When I left the cinema I wanted to go out and buy a Sergio Tacchini tracksuit !
Superbly acted and shot - the moving camera made you really feel part of it. A few of the scences made me really wince !
Don't believe the reports that it's not as good as the original - it's miles better IMO. Ticked all boxes for me - 10/10 -
