I.D. (1995)
6/10
On the draw of violence
28 July 2020
An ambitious police officer (Reece Dinsdale) wants his career to move in a forward direction and is married to a fellow police officer (Claire Skinner). He is tasked with leading a team to go undercover to try and smash a dangerous gang of football hooligans, but soon finds himself drawn into the violence, blurring the lines between his job and operation and his love for football, or more specifically gang violence.

The film is as you'd expect violent as it should be, but does look a little dated. It is nevertheless an interesting study on the draw, appeal and seduction of gang violence from a time when football hooliganism was still a big problem. The cast includes some familiar faces from 'Eastenders' and a young Sean Pertwee and following on from one of the originals football hooligan films, THE FIRM (1988).
