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.

I liked this movie – it left an impression. It is a refreshing punch in the face to liberal pro-multi-cultural types – that have had it coming for a long time.

Overall not a bad movie. It was entertaining enough but there are some details that I didn’t care for in this movie. The first are the fight scenes. The scenes involving fights seem too choreographed and formula based. Also the heavy British accents were sometimes nearly impossible to understand thus using the rewind on my control to decipher the dialogue was necessary. To make matters worse they spoke rather fast and incoporated a lot of slang that most Americans would have no clue what it means. Not bad though. I recommend this flick.

if I didn’t watch the movie Green Street Hooligans first.
They are almost the same movie. Green Street Hooligans is flat out more entertaining, buy that instead.

Nice movie. Don’t watch it at night since you’ll won’t be able to sleep. You’ll be too pumped up. Nice study and unapologetic. Fun movie and moving.

This is a classic inside look to the “stereotypical” view of a selection of die hard Chelsea fans, who go around battering the living daylights out of anyone in their way, whether it is their best friend or enemy.In reality however, this is a dying breed, with the average Chelsea fan now watching the games from his Front Living room on Sky, whilst eating dinner with his wife in the front room.
It is filmed in a very real and cold fashion, with a similar raw feel to Lock Stock and Snatch. Although the language is exceptionally harsh, it is very amusing with some classic lines that you can easily find yourself repeating long after the film has finished.
