DANGEROUS MIND OF A HOOLIGAN is another nonsense production and a slice of low-rent British crime. It feels more like a copy of RESERVOIR DOGS, with a bunch of pond-dwelling criminals falling out after a heist, than anything else, and it certainly has nothing to do with hooliganism. I tend to find that the presence of Simon Phillips in a film is a guarantee of ineptitude and so it proves here. This is packed with cheap camerawork, derivative scenarios, low rent action, and a script that replaces wit with incessant profanity. It's dumb and predictable, cheap and nasty, and entirely without merit.

There were certain points when i quite liked this, for me , the first 30 Min's but the incredibly poor decision to introduce a psychotic/maverick pursuer who we were supposed to believe was associated with the Police destroyed all semblance of realism. It was a shame as i was drawn to finding out what would happen until the end even though i ended up fast forwarding through the vignettes to give characters more depth i suppose but actually just slowed down the pace of the film. Ending up doing my own editing which is not a good sign. What really annoyed me was the ending as hate films that just bottle out on happy/sad ending. Felt the acting in the main was OK but as said previously the most charismatic character to go early was a strange decision.Female character was criminally under developed. Shame.

Sigh, another low budget British gangster flick... if there were a handful of good ones, I'd have been more keen when sitting down, but at least I didn't have high hopes to be dashed.And it's for the best, because the direction was confused, as - lacking a decent script and/or interesting characters - we got some arty shots mixed in with the some others used over and over, and cheap locations that really failed to make the actual bank job the film's all about, believable.For some reason, a security guard has a gun (I don't know what banks the producers visit in England, if this seemed realistic) and the back-stories of each character were badly put together and not even remotely engaging. In fact, I'd say that the best character died first (well, okay, second), and where I wrote above that the acting was good, I was obviously neglecting the really CRAP cop who hunts the group of robbers down.With 1,000s of films on Sky where this is presently playing, you didn't have any reason to watch this anyway, so just flick over to something else.

What a waste of time, well 25 minuets! Actually i only got about 25 minuets in, and that was because i wanted to see if it could get any better! which just added to the disappointment! You don't even need to see it through to the end to see where it's going..Although I didn't bother waiting to find out where it went so i could be completely wrong about where it was going! But i didn't have 82 minuets to waste frankly.Personally if you've got nothing else to do and like to watch a mediocre British gangster/psychopath killer/??? type film then I'd recommend taking up reading!!!
