How many films do you really need about Football hooliganism? Does Stephen Graham have to be in every British film that has a slightly dodgy stereotype in it? Well if we only have to have one, it might as well be this one. At least it doesn't glamorise anything, unless you like being miserable that is. The suggestion that the two leads have any kind of relationship or attraction towards each other is so subtle that you'd be forgiven for completely missing it. That said, I quite liked it. It's not brilliant but it is something new. Or maybe it's a new version of something old that wasn't very good but it got me all nostalgic, I don't know, but I liked it. Oh, and the soundtrack is nothing short of glorious.
