EDITORIAL REVIEW

Based on the bestselling novel by John King, this study of middle-class England, football violence and male culture introduces you to Tommy, a bored twenty-something who lives for the weekend, casual sex, watered-down lager, heavily cut drugs -- and occasionally kicking someone's ass! Tommy's life ambles along until a violent encounter with a rival starts a war, and a series of nightmares forces Tommy to question his way of life. Shot in documentary style with the energy and vibrancy of handheld, The Football Factory is frighteningly real yet full of painful humor, a drug-fueled adrenaline rush about friendship, revenge and violence.

Football Factory Review
~ Written on Jan 6, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

My husband cannot put the book down...and he is not a big reader. The coolest thing is that when we watch british "football" games on TV, he recognizes the teams from reading about them in the book. As soon as he finishes the book we're going to watch the DVD that we also purchased.

The dedication of Footy fans is remarkable!!!!

I love this movie. Along with Green Street Hooligans it is an amazing look at how dedicated footy fans are. Also how far they are willing to go to support their team!!!!!!!!

Good, but not as good as i heard

It was a good movie, but it didn't meet my expectations. Green Street Hooligans was a much better movie.

Almost as bad as the tv series of the same name

First we had that quality film the Firm then we had the dross that followed it. This film follows the exploits of chelsea lads who are part of a firm intent on violence towards other like minded individuals of other rival teams.

Problem is we get the same boring super firm stereotype, never get beat, all a 'larrf, over exaggerated cockney rhyming slang (Its like Alf Garnett on speed) walk like a penguin (or a 3rd rate imitation of Oasis) The film just drifts along at a walking pace to nowhere. So what some of them live in nice houses, so what some of them have families (Haven't we seen this all before with the film The Firm?)

Boring, pointless and a waste of valuable time that could have been spent cleaning the drains or checking the guttering on the roof.
