Reviews

djkbee There's many British gangster movies / football hooligan movies. Cass i certainly a candidate for being one of the better ones out there. I never go into story lines etc and try to keep my reviews brief and to the point here on IMDb. Basically if your a fan of the better UK movies like Football Factory, Green Street, Rise Of The FootSoldier, Clubbed etc then there's no way you will not enjoy this. Being based on a true story makes it even more engrossing for me and it's one i would recommend hence me giving it 8 stars.One downside is that it gives off a bit of a budget look... almost older then it is look with the visuals but its a solid British flick. Deffo check it out.

Matthew Skibicki I watched this film unwillingly with some friends thinking it was some violent-glorification of ugly, football hooligans Looking back, I would have preferred this much more than what the film actually was - a lame 2 hour drama which had to be endured rather than enjoyed.I felt so disengaged throughout the whole movie - possibly because of how amateur and unoriginal the film looked and felt. Its ambitious attempts to be dramatic and truthful failed miserably.The script does have a strong moral center about racism, being an outcast, belonging and family. Unfortunately these story elements are lost in a badly executed production.

Angelus2 An elderly white couple, adopt a child from Jamaica and raise him up during the 70's...I chronicles his life from being racially attacked... to actually attacking people for his beloved football team.The character of Cass is a man who blindingly loves his country and must face prosecution from others and constantly told he does not belong...I loved his rise, and the respect he accumulates from people.I found the prison part to be very fascinating as another Jamiacan British cell mate tells him about why he should care for his roots, and Cass's place in the world.The fight scenes were brilliantly shot and show Great Britain's hard men...We are not all like Hugh Grant..LOL..A good solid film with a great cast of actors..

waynelreid Depth of story. Much more than a hooligan film. Many funny and ironic moments also. This will be enjoyed by football lads as well as general cinema goers. Looks like it could be a cult movie. I will definitely be buying the DVD. Good character development throughout the film. Most of the acting very convincing. Also attention to detail in the 60's and 70's scenes looked very authentic. Some hard scenes but overall good fun. Cameo appearances from some interesting sportsmen! Also touches on race issues of past decades. I never realised film was over 90 minutes until I left the cinema. All in all very enjoyable and I would recommend it!
