Although I have taken an editorial decision to review films on this site purely from a Football Casual fashion perspective, and not review them like Jonhathon Ross, I can't but help make some comments on this particular film.
The plot - a disaster. The dialogue - a disaster. Elijah Wood as a hooligan - a disaster. Charlie Hunman's accent - a disaster. This film was backed with millions of dollars of American money and produced a film that would have been better marketed as a parody.
The fight scenes were poor, the tie-in with America to make it saleable stateside completely crushed any crumbs of credibility it could have ever achieved. Don't even get me on the crew names. All round disaster.
However one thing stood up - the fashion. The display of brands on show were spot on. By rights this should have been a disaster too. Every other aspect of the film was, so how did this happen? The wardrobe department must have been the only department working on the film paying attention. It was written/directed by a woman. Enough said.
Since publishing this review, Dougie Brimson who was credited as a co-writer on this film, has contacted FootballCasual.com to say that he left halfway through production as he wasn't happy with where the film was going. In the interests of fairness we felt it was only right to print that on this review. However, we're sure he didn't leave halfway through whilst waiting in the queue to cash his cheque.
