Rated R

Run Time: 1 hr. 46 min.
Genre: Drama
Release Date: Sep 16, 2005

Plot:  The movie is an insight into the heady but dangerous pleasures of violence in Great Britain. When Matt is expelled from college, he decides to go visit his sister who is married and lives in the UK.

But from the very first day, he realizes that life is never going to be the same for him. The lessons he learns, no college can teach them.

What happens is a dangerous but thrilling ride, street brawling and one of the most important lessons in life; stand your ground, no matter the odds against you.

Verdict: the movie lacks depth and insight into the sub culture of soccer thugs.

Instead it manages to come off as a Fight Club knock-off. Still makes for an interesting watch though.
