Review of The Football Factory (2004) by Terry L — 24 Feb 2008

Probably the best Football hooligan movie ever made.

I.D. was good for it's time, green st. hooligans was laughable, but this hits the nail on the head to a certain point. It veers from the book which makes it enjoyable and not a comment on society (which the subject matter is). The fight scenes are spot on, although it does get a bit cheesy in places, still for those who have wondered what it's all it about this serves as a great intro. The clothes are right , stone island massive, henry lloyd and burberry to the fore, not a scarf or shirt in sight.

I notice that a trip to Leeds wasn't included in this movie, but then again that would have made for a short movie wouldn't it?

Well worth watching after a few stellas.
