The fast-cutting brutal footage, mixed with the slow-paced emotional scenes, makes the controversial film a fascinating account of hooliganism.The story is based more on loyalty, male culture and bitterness towards how their country has failed them, rather than encouraging people to copy their actions, or see them as a ‘hero’.With a former hooligan refusing to return to fighting, and a few characters frowning upon their conduct, the violent behaviour of the football hooligans is never condoned or glamorised. The powerful film shows that the beautiful game rears a truly ugly side, which is bound to shock and stun audiences, and will undoubtedly bring English hooliganism back to the headlines - but for the wrong reasons. Thanks for reading
