A short but great movie. Gary Oldman's acting is nuts in portraying a psycho hooligan. The ending is short, sharp and left me chilled.

It's a fair point from other posters that in their hey-day the ICF had a hell of a lot more numbers than shown in the film. However Oldman's acting stands out and whilst people say the production is poor I feel this adds to the 80s effect. Oldman's character, a run of the mill middle class lad, is very convincing in how he becomes a crazed hooligan on match days and when out with the lads. The knock on effects on his bad treatment of his wife and baby adds to the reality.

I'd recommend anyone to watch this movie, as long as you're not offended by violence. It's only just over an hour of your time and leaves a powerful message.
