The Hooligan Wars

Apart from this just being a terrible film with a terrible script and terribly acted. They actually want us to believe that this guy who looks like he smokes 20 a day and chomps down on a diet of Kebabs and Curries, is a Professional Footballer.

They'd have been better casting his mate, the dealer in the lead role and this guy as the dealer. At very least the dealer looks a bit athletic, particularly when compared to our podgy Ice Cream Man.

This is another in a long line of 'Sarf ov Englund' (usually Essex) alleged hard Man films with lazy dialogue and all too predictable scenarios of violence for violence sake, and expletives for expletives sake.

To be honest, i only ever watch these films to get a laugh, as they offer very little else.

Low budget, terrible acting and a misleading title. Avoid

There is plenty of blood sweat and tears in this movie, but what I was impressed mostly was the ending. You know how some movies have it all then at the end its like what the heck just happened here? Are you serious? Well not in this movie. One of the better final scenes I have watched in recent memory. The film revolves around Andy and his expecting wife Stacey and Stacey's brother one of Andy's mates. Andy receives a bad injury during some hooligan antics and doctors tell him any career in sports is gone. Andy gets involved with dubious characters and his role with them starts to spiral out of control. Good acting, worthy film.

Absolutely horrible. Might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I checked this out only because of the poster. I was expecting lots of flexing, booze, yelling and fighting but I got none of that. I was severely disappointed.

The title makes zero sense. The story has literally nothing to do with hooliganism. There's two hooligan fights in the entire movie that feels tacked on, only to justify the title. Good cast though.

The gunfights are terrible, the acting is terrible, the story is generic and it's in the worst way: Boring. They could've easily made this a "so bad it's good" flick but they didn't.

It's clear that not many people have rated this film, but if you've come here to check it's score first before viewing, then don't be put off by the grade on here - as after watching this film, it doesn't seem right at all, and I'm glad I decided to ignore it.

Far from a classic, but entertaining all the same, this British drama, is the tale of a professional footballer on the way up, who gets sidelined with an injury, and immediately dropped from his team. With no income, he must find a way to bring some money in, as he has a child on the way, and a loving partner to support. Mishaps occur, as desperate measures lead to desperate things, and our lead will find himself caught up in the wrong crowd, as everything he stands for will now be put to test, along with his morals, well being, and safety.

The acting seems very natural, in the sense that the people act how you'd expect people in daily life to act - not at all over the top, and this does well in making the people seem 'real'.

The visual quality is up to scratch, and some nice shots are used.

My only complaint is there are a few clichés in the plot that may make you sigh, but if you can forgive them, and you're fan of British film, you may enjoy it for what it is.

Certainly not the best film I've ever seen, but nowhere near the worst, but definitely worth a look on a quiet night.

6/10
