“This film has been written off by some lazy press reviewers as just another mockney fighting movie, probably due to its slightly unfortunate title and cover art. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe reality is that couldnu0026#39;t be further from the truth. Although I sat down expecting to watch some kind of sub-Nick Love fluff (which isnu0026#39;t setting the bar very high at all), this was a far better film than I had expected. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cinematography, music, performances and pacing were all very good, and the story is far from the kind of nonsense youu0026#39;d associate with most standard football hooligan-style movies. It has nuance, depth and some great twists. Itu0026#39;s a proper film, basically, and not just a load of fighting. Though thereu0026#39;s a fair amount of that too. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t normally write reviews but I felt compelled to defend this movie because on reading some reviews (after Iu0026#39;d seen the film) it seemed that a lot of people had got it completely wrong and probably prejudged it because from a glance at the box, youu0026#39;d think it was a bit dim. But it isnu0026#39;t. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGood work all round.”
