Review of Green Street Hooligans (2005) by Rash H — 10 Jul 2012

As Terrence Jay's One Blood plays through out one of the final scenes, one comes to terms with the impact this film may have had on them. This thrilling drama that stands as the Trainspotting meets Fightclub is one of those films that nearly hits every note it meant to, and then some.

The performances are all honourable and Charlie Hunnam and Elijah Wood finally come into their own without a doubt. This is film making at its possible best, even with the cheap laughs of the "Yank in Britain" jokes that plague the beginning (but keep it amusing) which may come out as intolerable Hollywood shite - but considering Lexi Alexander isn't even from said place, this is simply coincidental and has to be seen as a semblance of similar styles, not direct American contamination.

Touching, devestating and yet empowering, this is a film that every age group should see.

You severely missed the point of you pass this off as a "Football" flick or as an imbalanced "melodrama" since very little of this motion picture focuses at all on the sport and instead cares about the unity between the spectators who are more than just fans.
