AMAZING movie and Charlie is there ! :) so it cant be bad, btw its sad only 1 episode is with Hunnam ...

More fanatism, more risk no argue. Maturity maybe the thing we can share about this movies. May we be the one that working the thing always harmony

Such a lazy and superficial look at football hooliganism in the U.K. The bones are there for a good movie, but poor direction and a weak story stop this from being anything memorable. Gary Oldman's "The Firm" from 1989 is the best movie to see in the genre.

Violence and Friendship. A wrongfully expelled Harvard undergrad moves to London, where he is introduced to the violent underworld of football hooliganism.

Voici le gentil Frodon qui va passer le temps chez les Rosbifs et découvre ce merveilleux sport qu'on appelle le football. Il fait connaissance avec les merveilleux gens qu'on appelle les supporters... et on sait qu'il en faut des bons supporters pour faire les meilleurs hooligans ! A l'insu de son plein gré, le gentil Frodon va devenir un super sale con et un membre estimé de l'une des tribus de dégénérés qui se mettent sur la gueule avec d'autres tribus de dégénérés. On sait cela dit que depuis, les autorités britanniques ont pris le problème à bras-le-corps et que les "meilleurs" hooligans sont russes désormais... mais tout de même, voilà un film qui met les deux pieds dans le plat et avec une efficacité redoutable. Les bastons sont hélas très confuses et mal filmées, sans doute pour souligner le bordel ambiant mais c'est assez regrettable... Le film en rajoute également un peu trop côté guimauve et psychodrame pour mieux souligner les dommages collatéraux de tels comportements, car s'il y a des blessés, il peut y avoir un gars qui ne bouge **** la famille paye les pots cassés. En tout cas, on a ici un "beau" portrait de ces gens en apparence normaux sauf les jours de match... un état des lieux édifiant et sidérant ! il faudrait être atteint soi-même de cette folie pour comprendre les bagarres tribales qui défendent leur totem à la vie à la mort. C'est aussi ça, le merveilleux sport qu'on appelle football...

Great movie, don't let all the negativity from others on this website dissuade you. Watch it, if you like it then fantastic! If you hate it, well, "go blow some bubbles" ;)

Актёры отлично играют, что так и давит на эмоции, саундтрек очень крутой, драки выглядят эпично, что вкупе с хорошей операторской работой создаёт эффект погружения, словно чувствуешь каждый удар. Сюжет прост, но интересен. Отличное кино!

Critic Desson Thomson of the Washington Post said "soccer needs this movie like Georgia needed Deliverance". Rather, I say Metacritic needs HIS review like Journalism needed Green Street Hooligans! Up your arse Desson you Journo. This is a masterpiece, the best soccer movie yet made. Still, its about so MUCH MORE than Football. It's about cultural differences, about brotherhood, about Publife, about being single and a 20 something, about fanaticism and exiting fanaticism and finding real life. Most importantly, its about the Lower class...about hope..beyond the day to day grind at work. Something to believe in, something to cheer for...even if what you are cheering for is low quality. It's about where you are from and the biggest ruck is always the next one. Cheers boys.

While the acting is only mediocre and there's a lot that I could criticize about the screenplay, I want to focus on the good stuff: regarding its genre, I never expected that this movie would surprise me. There were 2 things in the plot, that really threw me a curve and this was very nice to see, since many movies don't manage to do so. It had a nice visual style and some soundtrack choices fitted the movie very good as well (there were also ones), although I've got to say that the cinematography was too shaky, which annoyed me in a couple of scenes. The fight scenes in the movie look good, yet it's not really exciting to watch because there are lots and lots of clichés in this movie. But mostly, this movie is insanely illogical and stupid. After all, I did enjoy watching Green Street Hooligans, mostly because of the fact that the characters were elaborate and it brought a nice style with it. But if you want a good movie not just simple entertainment, stay away from this one it's really overrated.

This movie is absolutely amazing. The acting is unreal, the fights are so realistic. The storyline is so realistic going from football firms to matchday brawlings. 10/10 for me. Spot on

By first... I was kinda reluctant to watch this movie, don't ask, because I dunno why. Then I've watched it. Well, at first it looks like Elijah Wood (don't remember the character name right now) is just a really pathetic ''yankee'', who seems to be overprotected in his past... and of course, as you see, is a good person to fool. Then it comes the part of discrimination from england guys, this kinda ''football gangsters'', a ''really not much helping'' sister, her ''arrogant'' and ''over-reacting'' england husband, and a poor young baby of them. In this general flash of the very beginning, you can see a weird movie. Then becomes interesting, you can see how pathetic is nationalism and racism in every each and single way, and makes you understand what it really is: a way of control. england vs. northamerica, gangsters vs. other football gangs, friends betrayed... all people showing then a lot of violence. It good the message it leave: not to trust anyone and not to mess with that people. But... at least, the are back for each other and stand when there's a challege or a fight or whatever... what our ''yankee'' guy (don't misundertand me, I'm not being racist, hate that word, I'm only emphasazing this word becaouse of the movie itself) understands and learns is to protect himself and what real friendship mean (another could be... the best friend is not who shares his room with you, could be in the other side of the world)... good movie after... what I need to say, because I noted is the credits... Elijah Wood is the ''star, well-known I mean'' there... but he's the last char to appear in credits... so... you know, you can note there the ''english nationalism''... hehe, ironic world.
