Top Reviews  Not bad for a TV movie. 4 of 5 people found this review helpful. Originally made for TV, this 1980s British film follows the leader of a football hooligan crew called The Inner City Crew. Bex Bissell (Gary Oldman) is typical of the yuppie culture - an estate agent, wears nice suits, has a wife and child and a lovely house. But when it comes to his leadership in the ICC he's as brutal and ruthless as expected from a gang leader. He decides that his crew should take out two other crews before he leads the hooligans to Europe to fight with their gangs as part of one big British Firm. The film is based on the activities of the real life Inter City Firm, football crew of West Ham United during the 1970s and 1980s. Rival football fans battle it out on the streets and the violence is as graphic as you'd expect from Alan "Scum" Clarke. Week by week they fight relentlessly, but as the European Championship's draw closer, one of the gang leaders must come out on top in order to lead The Firm to Europe. The film features a wealth of British acting talent including Philip Davis and Charles Lawson, plus UK soapstars like Steve McFadden and Martin Barrass. It moves so quickly it's more documentary like, and you'd think you were watching one if it wasn't for the familiar actors faces. Review ID: 10000000002795086 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Poor and Unrealistic!Review created: 02/12/05 by: 1 of 8 people found this review helpful. This film follows a fictional group of "football hooligans" as they battle with other firms in the country. I wouldn't recommend this film at all, the fight scenes are so unrealistic it's untrue, it's so eash to tell they aren't making contact and such which spoils the moment. The 'top boys' are quite frankly a laughing stock! Go and get Football Factory instead! Review ID: 10000000000083864 Was this review helpful?
