A Disappointing Continuation

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It wasn't easy to get my "hands" on it because I had a hard time finding a good accurate translation (english subtitles). About the movie itself.. Surely one of the best hooligan movies out there, it can surely compete for the top 1 with Green Street. It shows the Russian hooligan culture as it really is, fights with 'fair play' rules but most of all the respect that they have for each other and the hate for the cops (ACAB!). Obviously the movie has a story outside the football world, one of the top boys of the crew loves a girl, but the girls loves his guy best friend, and everything turns into a drama.. I always ask myself why these hooligan movies rarely have "happy endings".. I mean I am not expecting to watch happy endings in every movie I watch but from Green Street to The Firm to Football Factory... Something bad always happens. Still, it's one of the best movies I've seen lately, maybe because I am a huge football fan and a follower of the hooligan / ultras culture. Surely worth a watch if you like this kind of movies. I am not giving it a 10 because we end up not knowing why the cops just want the 'Teacher' instead of the real trouble maker.

I'm not quit sure that that's the perfect image of hooligans in Russia, I like their rules and fair-play in fights, I don't like that they don't live for the team and for the football (soccer for USA), I also don't agree with violence against other cultures or peoples. I'll not make a campaign for hooligans, all I want to say I'm an Ultras from Sporting Club de Bastia and even if UEFA want to kill us down, they'll never win, ULTRAS means to be there for your team, to sing, to stand up, to make a great spectacle on stadium ! Support your team at stadium and not in front of a TV !Ultras till I'll die ! It was very difficult to get this movie, I don't understand why is forbidden everywhere.Bastia Theodor Petru.

A decent movie about the life of the football hooligans in Russia. Four leaders of the one of the top firms of FC Spartak Moscow are confused: There's a rat in the crew. Police has been way too lucky cracking down most of their operations. Fights, wide shots of the terraces during the derby days, love triangle, friendship, betrayal, death, "casual" clothes style, ethnics tensions in today's Moscow- it's all here. Real football ex-hooligans contributed to the script and played small parts in the film. Many of the scenes are based on real events that happened not so long ago. Hope the movie will be translated properly into English, so international viewers can have some idea about Russian version of Green Street Hooligans, Football Factory, The Firm, etc.
