It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

..to help with the mental scarring caused by Charlie Hunnams take on the cockney accent. I mean, the film would have maybe been half decent if it weren't for the above.. thinking about it.. I take that back.. it's crap. Saw it back in 2006 and it was just as painful today as it was back then. In conclusion, if you're English, stick the film on.. watch the first minute or so, laugh at Hunnams cockney attempt, turn off.

This is This Is England meets Fight Club. But it does not rise to the level of any of them. Probably the biggest production mistake is Elijah Wood. For the entire length of the movie every time he was appearing on screen I could not think anything but "Frodo!" and giggle. Even the exposed belly fat when he gets inked screams "Frodo!". So bottom line: this was a comedy for me.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Along the same kinda lines as 'The Football Factory' but nowhere near as gritty and in your face, this film suffers from a slight case of Hollywood glitz. Not just because Elijah Wood is in it, that is one reason of course, but the violence just seems more coordinated and setup, whilst the many British actors in the film all have rather hokey cockney accents which seem rather forced, some not all.The film centres around West Ham United Firm 'GSE: Green Street Elite' although the real firm is called 'ICF: Inner City Firm' and follows the guys around as they go to matches and plan on fights with rival firms. Nothing much different from other 'firm' flicks but the added plot of Yankee Wood who slowly fits in against his UK based sisters wishes and grows to enjoy the lifestyle.No one really that well known in the film accept Wood who is TOTALLY out of place in this type of flick but I guess that's the idea right. Only thing is you simply can't see Wood ever getting tough enough to do what he does in the film, never in a month of Sundays.Good entertainment but using allot of artistic license and second best to 'The Football Factory' and 'The Firm'...if your into these types of films.5/10
