Green Street Hooligans
You may never call it soccer again.
Green Street Hooligans starsElijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam and they do an amazing job at bringing a realistic feel to a film about brotherhood, reputation and brawling within the world of European football.
The film takes place with Elijah Wood being framed for possession of cocaine in his dorm room and is kicked out of college. He moves to London where his sister lives. He meets Hunnam’s character and the action is pretty much nonstop from there. He gets involved in the violent lifestyle of football hooligans or as they call themselves, a firm.
Wood’s character comes to learn that though the life is violent there’s more to it then just beating up rival gang members. It’s about loyalty and sticking up for your brothers.
This movie really does not have many dull moments and those that exist in the film are not boring more of just to help better explain details in the story. There was not much hype around this movie when it was released in theaters but don’t let that full anybody. This movie is a solid title that delivers on all aspects. It has a raw perception in terms of filming, the story shows compassion through the violence. It is definitely one of the top movies released in the last few years.
Verdict: This movie is most definitely a buy, it can be watched over and over again and will be a nice addition to anybody’s DVD collection.
