IHMO REVIEW :
just finished watching this movie (via netflix - i heart netflix) and i loved it. with that stated i especially enjoyed the first half of the movie.

the first half is about an american harvard journalism major who gets kicked out of school due to a false accusation of drug possession. he goes to london to visit his sister there where he becomes involved with his brother-in-laws younger brother whose a hooligan. the first half exposes the viewer into the subculture of hooliganism and it's facinating. it doesn't water it down. the characters are speaking full british lingo and doesn't really try to make it understandable to the viewers (too much).

the second half gets to the morals and such - typical stuff. but overall the story was great. Elijah Wood - the main character does a great job of going through a transformation of being an afraid confused individual to someone who becomes a hard hooligan / gang member. very nice.

i'd recommend the movie just for the first half. the pub scenes - the subculture - the love of football and more importantly the love of the 'firm.' great stuff.
