Reviews

bombersflyup Green Street Hooligans is a terrific film about violence and heartache, but brings much joy.Elijah Wood's character Matt, gets embroiled into the world of soccer hooliganism and mateship and it helps him to become more self-assured. The characters of Tommy Hatcher and Bovver bring the necessary hardness to the film. Claire Forlani is a little wasted here in my opinion, even if only to add some sexual provocativeness. In fact I think all of the Dunhams could have been better. I love the final showdown and everything it entailed.

Ersbel Oraph 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

Claudio Carvalho The Harvard's journalism student Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) is expelled from the university two months before his graduation for stashing drugs in his closet in his room. However the cocaine belongs and was hidden by his roommate Jeremy Van Holden (Terence Jay). But the insecure Matt does not accuse Van Holden since he is the son of a powerful politician. Matt travels to London to meet his estranged sister Shannon Dunham (Claire Forlani) that is married with a baby boy with the British Steve Dunham (Marc Warren). Matt explains what happened to her in Harvard and when Steve comes home, he asks Matt to go to the football game with his brother Pete (Charlie Hunnam) since he has planned to date Shannon that night. Pete refuses since he is the leader of the GSE (Green Street Elite), a gang of hooligan fans of the West Ham United that usually fight after the matches. However Matt befriends Pete and his friends and fights with them, becoming a confident young man. But soon he has a lesson where the violence of the hooligan gangs leads them."Hooligans" is a surprisingly good film about violence and friendship. Elijah Wood performs an interesting character that changes his personality through his experience with a gang of hooligans. Pete is also intriguing since he is a history and physical education teacher for kids and the leader of a gang. It is good to see the loyalty of most of the characters to each other and how they change their personal lives addicted in fights after the football matches. The tragic conclusion fits well to the behavior of the characters. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Hooligans"

katumus Seriously though :) I'm feeling a little embarrassed after watching this awful movie haha. It was like watching a bunch of little angry ADHD kids fighting because they got their toys taken away. Apparently fighting for stupid reasons and looking like whacko baboons "look at me look at me" is somehow cool and important?Yes. Because that makes sense :)Intentionally choosing to fight and put your life in danger to prove your the toughest soccer gang in the neighborhood doesn't make ANYONE manly. I was hoping they'd grow up by the end of the movie.Nope. Aaah haha waste of time!
