Has anybody seen this movie? It's about soccor hooligans that rise up into the mafia and then eventually ruin everything and start getting killed by opposing gangs. The violence is VERY confronting but it's an awesome movie. Probably one of the best I've seen. I give it 8/10. How about you guys? Have you seen it? If so what would you rate it and what was your oppinion on it?

''Soccer''? It's football mate.

I saw it a while back. I thought the gratuitous violence was just unnecessary, but then again, it's target audience would probably have got a kick out of it. The one scene that I did enjoy was the one on the tube with the Millwall fans. Having lived through most of the worst of that, I can safely say it was never that bad, although it could get pretty nasty.

As for the film itself, I felt it didn't really know where it was going, from one sub plotline to the next. The alternate endings were odd too. It would have been better to wrap up the story. Still they got their comeuppance in the end.
