Red Army Hooligans

This one grew on my while watching it. At the beginning it seemed a bit all over the place with few connections with football, firms or hooligans but soon enough i´ve realized that that connection is never established because this is not a movies about any of that. This low key movie, with decent acting in some places, is all about a man trying to catch up with his lost memories while suffering from a brain damaged suffered in a fight. To me it´s hard to understand why anyone would choose this subtext to touch this subject but i did like it in the end because it all made a nice contrast.

I was excited to see a bunch of World Cup 2018 themed hooligan movies hitting the shelves but the more I watch, the more that excitement wanes. I love a good hooligan film and when you throw in some Ruskieploitation, there's scope for entertainment. And it's topical too. World Cup! Russian hooligans! C'mon! This should be easy. It should write itself. You don't need much.

However, at the very least, you'd expect some football, some hooligans, maybe some Russian hooligans... I dunno. I mean, the cover art suggests all manner of stuff that looks great but isn't here. What you do get is a bizarro home video - which surely can't have cost more than a grand or so to make? - with an incomprehensible plot, a snail's pace and a seemingly intentional desire to not please anyone.

This is not your typical Hooligan film. It has its moments of violence but there's is a deeper story behind it all. Great performances from everyone across the board! Highly recommend this film so check it out on VOD and DVD!

Truly bad, do not waste your time on this movie unless you want to watch someone eating toast and drinking tea. Go get a copy of football factory or I.D. Do not be fooled by the cover!!

Obviously the 10 ratings are by those somehow related to this awful film Some of the acting makes Danny Dyer look like Pacino it's so poor.

These football films are genuinely bad but this one somehow manages to make Football Factory/Green St etc look watchable. A terrible film, based more on a fella with a brain injury surrounded by actors who would fail a school nativity play audition

The story itself is a flat as the acting, revenge on a Russian firm at the World Cup...I doubt too many will make it to the end of the film to b e honest it's so bad.

The firm themselves look more like a bad pub quiz team and the music is terrible, especially during a card game scene.

Dreadful.
