If you have seen the original version of this, then the chances are you will really want to see this. I have seen the original, so when i saw this first advertised, i almost wet myself with anticipation. Sadly, i have to report that I'm quite disappointed. Paul Anderson does a pretty good job as Bex Bissle, however the performance can only be described as lacklustre when compared to the tower of menace and intensity that Gary Oldmans original incarnation produced.
Now. If you are going to see this in the hope that its another Football Factory/Green Street/Rise Of The Footsoldier orgy of football and people bashing the crap out of each other, you will be sadly disappointed.
This film does however contain Elise tracksuits, Adidas trainers, some bad haircuts and a decent soundtrack. Oh and there is a lot of profanities if you like that sort of thing in a movie. thinking about it this movie doesn't have a great deal else. There isn't much talk about the beautiful game or the teams the firms themselves support, there isn't much in the way of beatings, and if I'm honest, not a great deal of violence. Im actually very surprised that this merits an 18 certificate.
However, the film is well acted, does feel quite indie and very British, though the trailer for that new Michael Caine movie was most likely the most excited i got in the whole 2 hours.
Yes see this movie if your interested in the subject matter, but if you haven't seen the original and want to watch a proper football hooligan movie, check that out instead.

Many people believe this film is really really crap, but in my opinion, it is very very good! Tom Hanks & Carrie Fisher work really well as the suburbian couple. Bruce Dern is brilliant as rumsfield, with the memorable scene when he walks out of his door fully camed up, ready to find out what the klopeks are up too. I have never laughed so hard at a single scene ever since. many say this film is like 2 or 3 /10, i say at least 7 or 8/10.
The lost boys is a truely great movie. the whole vampire idea is really well done in this movie. complete with solid acting (keifer sutherland in particular) and some very funny points including the 2 vampire humers edger and alan frog. the movie is also complete with a great soundtrack. its one of my favorate movies. if ya aint seen it, see it any way you can...
