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. -

Football Voilence
Before 'Greenstreet' & 'Football factory' there was 'The Firm'.
Gary Oldman a bad guy favourite executes this role perfectly. A guy who lives with his wife & kid happily until an accident, then seems to go on a mission.
There is enough voilence to keep you secretly wanting a bit more.
Will he forefill the dream or not?
If you liked the above 2 films then you should like this.
Keep an eye out for a younger Steve Mcfadden -
