MCT:August 6, 2008Halfway decent. Crazy and retarded if this stuff really happens, but the movie had some honorably brutal fight sequences.
-
MCT:August 5, 2008My main gripe, apart from it being shit, was that the leader of the West Ham firm was Australian or some shit. He sounded like a right ponce.

MCT:August 5, 2008surprisingly good. i didn't expect much from this movie after hearing some bad reviews but i thought it was good. it seemed to me at the start that the story was just going to follow a group of thugs fighting opposing fans but by the end i actually liked some of the characters except elijah wood's of course. good fight scenes as well
-
MCT:August 5, 2008Surprisingly moving and touching in unexecpected ways. The violence is very graphic and the language is very strong, but it's what the film is about. A good cast provides strong acting throughout, and as a whole quality is acheived through a solid storyline and memorable characters. I simply cannot fault this film in any way.

It is a rubbish film compared to Football Factory, although as a separate film (as it is trying to hard to be) it is alright. Elijah wood is annoying when around English people as he sounds like an idiot. Charlie Hunnam however sounds like he wants to be American

great film about football violence. the story: after being wrongfully expelled from Harvard University, American Matt Buckner flees to his sister's home in England. once there, he is befriended by her charming and dangerous brother-in-law, Pete Dunham, and introduced to the underworld of British football hooliganism. Matt learns to stand his ground through a friendship that develops against the backdrop of this secret and often violent world. 'Green Street' is a story of loyalty, trust and the sometimes brutal consequences of living close to the edge. a great example of a proper British film. Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam were just amazing, no one could of done it better than them. i enjoyed every bit of this film. quite simillar to The Football factory. a few racist comments in this film. if you like British films, then you will definetly like this.

With foreign American sentiment as low as it is, it?s no surprise that a movie like Green Street Hooligans delivers its message not with words but rather with the pounding of the fists and the shedding of blood, with the sort of carnal rage that is best remembered during the medieval times. In a film that oozes with so much testosterone and machismo it?s surprising to find that at its core, Green Street Hooligans is more about friendship and honor than balled fists and a primal thirst for blood.
Two months before receiving his diploma, Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood) gets expelled from Harvard?s prestigious journalism program when he takes the wrap for a stash of cocaine found in his shared dorm room, belonging to his haughty trust fund baby roommate Jeremy (Terence Jay). Buckner is a well-respected journalism prodigy; he?s received numerous awards for his astute writing and its clear that his teachers are marveled by his abilities, yet even his dissertation on A Death in Venice can?t save him from the embarrassment the expulsion carries, with his letter grade ?A? worn like Hester Prynne?s fabric ?A? in Hawthorne?s The Scarlet Letter?as a symbol of shame. After his ?deal? with Jeremy he unwillingly takes $10,000 dollars for his troubles and flies to London to visit his sister Shannon (Claire Forlani). The mystery that surrounds England has little effect on Matt, carrying a chip on his shoulder as any American would, but takes a complete U-turn when he meets his brother in law?s younger brother Peete (Charlie Hunnam) who gives the young Yankee a crash course on football, their firms?underground gangs that represent each team?and of course, the art of ass kicking.
It?s clear from the outset that Matt is as soft as the inside of raw cake, but after a few run-ins with opposing firms, he proves to be a scrappy fighter, bringing him into good fortunes with Peete and the rest of the West Ham Green Street Elite. And while one of the members, Bover, has a blatant disdain for foreigners, Matt?s ability to stand toe to toe with his ?mates? has Bover standing in Matt?s shadow, hell bent on humiliating Matt whenever he can. His penultimate attempt to oust Matt permanently inadvertently becomes a violent putsch on the West Ham firm?s pub that inevitably results in a final showdown between the two underground firms.
Hunnam does an amazing job of playing the headstrong, rambunctious leader that all men dream about being. He?s cool, but at heart is a loose cannon. He swears like a sailor and downs pints of frothy ale like an athlete would Gatorade. His opposite, Wood, -

Love this film. As a footballfan myself, it's kind of interesting to see a movie about hooligans which is an up-to-date subject in the world of football.

I am really not one who is into these type of macho fighting for little or no reason movies. This was ok, I did learn a few things. Story was ok and acting was pretty good. Little Elijah Wood seemed out of place through out most of the film. Charlie Hunnam, was the real standout. Very captivating presence and really, you wanted to watch his every move. Liked it, would not see it again.

At first I was skeptical and didnt think Id enjoy this movie but I did, very much, it and Alpha Dogs remind me of each other though Im not sure why.
-
MCT:July 11, 2008Elijah Wood, Charlie Hunnam and Marc Warren all do excellent jobs portraying their characters. This is an amazing and gritty film that I would rcommend to anyone.

MCT:July 2, 2008
Elijah Wood seems quite an unlikely candidate for this role, however the way the storyline was plotted it worked very well.
It?s a very realistic violent film, which is sadly all too true a side of the sport. -
MCT:June 8, 2008
Stand your ground and fight. A smahing film (excuse the pun, what pun?) really gets you in and gives you a chav style shake up.

A brutal and violent passionate tale. Awesome performances and a nice plot development. I actually liked Elijah Wood's acting.

Brilliant British film. If you like films like Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Rise of the Footsoldier, etc, you will love this. Brilliant acting, many people gave the film criticsm for having an American actor in the leading role of a British film. The point is the film is about how Elijah Wood adapts to the violent life in England. You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy this film. One of my all time favourites, glad to have it in my massive collection.

God, was this film awful or what? Seriously, I couldn't take this film seriously. Everything about was awful especially Charlie Hunnam, who sports the worst and funniest cockney accent ever.
Seriously, i would be angry at this film apart from the fact it was just awful and funny in how a film like this could take itself sooooo seriously.
I think it was an outstanding contender for Worst Film of 2005.
In fact every person who i met said they liked it were either mad or angry, when i said i didn't like it.
Just plain funny because it's so incredibly terrible and crap , especially the fight scene at the end.posted 144 days ago -
