    Great stuff.

    If you are into this sort of film you'll love it. Gary Oldman is typically excellent and very convincingly takes you into the mind of a football hooligan (even if you do disapprove).

    No fancy fight scenes here, just realistic bursts of raw aggression and brutality.

    a load of rubbish

    people have been saying that this is better than the football factory. How wrong can people be even green street is better than this and that was'nt much cop either.

    This film only lasts an hour no real violence crappy acting I really dont know what Gary oldman was thinking when he took this part he is capible of so much better absolutley appalling film DO NOT RENT THIS FILM YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
