After being wrongfully expelled from Harvard University, American Matt Buckner flees to his sister's home in England. Once there, he is befriended by her charming and dangerous brother-in-law, Pete Dunham, and introduced to the underworld of British football hooliganism. Matt learns to stand his ground through a friendship that develops against the backdrop of this secret and often violent world. 'Green Street Hooligans' is a story of loyalty, trust and the sometimes brutal consequences of living close to the edge.
A powerful story of England Football and their intense fans. I am really surprised at how much I loved this movie. I didn't know if I would not being a fan of soccer (football). But the movie is about so much more then that. The hooligans are a brotherhood and loyalty. I was surprised that Elijah Wood was cast in this type of movie. But what is more surprising is how well he pulled this character off. Great job by him. Charlie Hunnam was fantastic in this film. The fight scenes are really intense and bloody. They were very realistic. Just a great film. Totally worth the watch.
