Better than a lot of football films. Though it is inane at times, the commentary during the macthes are funny…

Good adaptation of The Longest Yard. It's rougher and darker. Good viewing…

British version of the Longest Yard... & Statham's character was insane... like literally... insane…

Review of Mean Machine (2001)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 25 May 2010

In Mean Machine, soccer is pretty much an excuse to watch a bunch of grown men smashing their heads together…

Review of Mean Machine (2001)

By Jostein B (9) on 17 Jul 2010

Quite interesting to watch this if you've already watched The Longest Yard since they both are inspired by the same novel. But to be honest…

Review of Mean Machine (2001)

By The Critic ( (601) on 01 Sep 2012

Ticks all the boxes of a clichéd sports and prison movie, but Vinnie Jones and his oddball team are likeable enough to see this venture through…

Review of A Star Is Born (1954)

By Katie J (161) on 10 Oct 2007

A waste of time. It was depressing and boring. Even Judy's singing isn't very good. Although The Man that got away is a showstopper…
