The Football Factory

Football Factory is in line with the like of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. If you are English as we are you will enjoy this movie, very true to real life.

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.

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!!!!!!!!

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

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.
