Looking at the reviews above some seem to think this was a gang from East London. They weren't, the Yid army are a Tottenham Hotspur firm. Tottenham Hotspur are a North London football club. Therefore hail from North London. As for the film itself, it never reaches the heights of I.D or football factory.However the film isn't that bad and as far as I can remember it is the first film about a football firm that involve Tottenham Hotspur as the firm in question. As for the film itself I found it pretty clichéd in places with the usual threats of violent language. Having said that I have seen a lot worse. I also thought the acting was pretty wooden throughout and can't think of one stand out performance.

I was expecting something along the lines more lock -stock for a nice watch with a nice plot some laughs and relative violence , well what happened, Film totally bereft of a plot or a scanty plot bereft of any twist, character giving birth in the bath at home while her husband is getting kicked to death is 1 of maybe 3 scenes that show you a glimpse that the film makers may or may not have been working to a story board but its ending is possibly its biggest mystery it was like the characters had to be their for the climax and that was it, the narrator talked a great talk but when he came to London as the box he forgot how to be a gangster and was looking to get caught for nothing. Really sloppy directing with few good scenes acting was disappointment but that was probably down to direction and scripting or lack of. would not recommend

Apart from this movie being about as cardboard as possible.The vicar at the funeral also played the mortuary technician.There are probably more dual roles for some of the cast to be spotted by sharper eyes than mine.Kemp should have stayed selling sofas instead of a misguided attempt at directing if this production is all he could come up with, I am sure the cast must have took the money and run to leave Kemp to take any comeback flack.As a great believer in the British gritty gangster movies, this is definitely a movie that rates the lowest.I recognised quite a few of the cast who had made previously decent appearances in movies, but with their best attempts could not have made this movie one worth watching.

It seems the easy option these days if you are a British film-maker is to tell of a low-rent crime caper so I didn't go into this film with high expectations but it really did impress me.The football hooligan story is something that has been done to death over the last few years but it is almost incidental in this film, it just provides a back-story to the characters. This film is more about how a simple act made without any real malice can backfire and escalate.The characters are believable, the acting is good and the film moves along at a fair pace which gives a good idea of how bad things happen so quickly. Well acted, good characterisation, and a decent story, can't ask for much more than that!
