paulovey-1's rating
I got this film on rental, and to be honest I didn't expect much.
But wow. This just blew me away, such powerful performances from all the actors.
Yes, there are some very very violent scenes but I think it does reflect a fair picture of some very small factions of English football "not f**king soccer"!! Maybe not as it is today but 5 - 7 years ago.
As soon as it was finished I had to watch it again. The only other film i have had that was Shawshank, so in my opinion its in very good company; If you want to see a great film with Elija Wood, forget Lord of the Rings and see this.

I loved this film, the music and the costumes, just caught the feel of the 80s and got it spot on.
Yes, none of the actors are that well known, but then in my book thats a good thing, I don't go into the film with any pre conceived ideas.
And yes sometimes the language does cut very close to the bone, but these people are hardened criminals, and its a 18 cert as well, so that should give you some idea of the content.
I say go and see it, and just enjoy yourself and have a few laughs for 2 hours.
And did i mention the sound track, dust off those shell suits and enjoy.
