I Am Hooligan

One of the worst films I've ever seen. To compare it with Clockwork Orange is beyond ridiculous

Absolute rubbish

Terrible slow boring predicable. Dubbed in places the film jumps all over place never placing any meaning to the scenes or characters none of which hold your attention.The fight scenes are laughable guys rolling on top of each other. Plenty of laughs sadly none of which were intentional a film study in amateur dramatics and poor film making.2/10 for the acting of the lead lad someday with a better cast he could shine.Indie films still deliver very little for it's viewers, this film is just one more on the ever growing scrap heap.Terrible slow boring predicable rubbish with yet another tired old British gangster yarn but told badly,acted badly,and written poorly.

Steven M Smith's second feature I Am Hooligan is miles away in quality from his debut effort Hooligans at War, which would be like comparing a smack to the face to a kick in the fellas.

However, I liked this one, genuinely. It starts off slow and predictable, but it then begins to have something. A interesting'ish' story develops and we have a decent, if clichéd, troubled youth picture it seems. Passable, but then something batty happens in the third act and I'm suddenly starting to think, hey, some passion was put into this one. It might not work, but they tried, and usually that's all I ask from this kind of Asda shelf fodder.

The Kubrick references were cute as well and there were some good performances overall. Could have had more violence, more of da humping and a finer tuned sense of humour, but all in due time son.

I mean, how well did your last film do?

I have seen some bad stuff lately, but oh my days this is an absolute atrocity.

I like how people compare it to A Clockwork Orange, I think the comparison was that at some point Stanley Kubrick went for a crap, thus may be what that crap evolved into.

I appreciate low budget films have a struggle, they have to strive to be something, this is just abysmal.

Ruling out pool cue, golf buddy cam, and headboard cam which are without a doubt creative, if not shocking additions to this otherwise pathetic effort at filmmaking, this film offers nothing, nothing of any value to anyone in any way shape or form.

I knew it was going to be bad as soon as it started, the stock effect I AM HOLLIGAN title credit on some sort of slapdash background (like kids wallpaper), then the slow walk through the council estate of its lead, the same walk you will see half a dozen times.

Then the train, oh yes the train seen through the railway fence, you must see this same train going back and forth 100 times, exactly the same footage.

I feel bad reviewing this so harshly, as my good friend has a role in it, and I told then how bad the film was.

The film has not one endearing feature, no message, brings nothing new to the table, it's just a complete dogs abortion all round.

Why Why Why does Smith insist in churning out this rubbish..The dvds al end up in landfill sites he should be prosecuted under the enviromental act.Give it up now Smith, your motto is 'never give up' but PLEASE RECONSIDER. YOU FILMS ARE AWFUL MATE. STOP HUMILIATING YOURSELF AND OTHERS WITH THIS STUFF.
