Movie Reviews of Green Street Hooligans
Movie Review: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Summary: 1 Stars
Contrary to popular belief, at least as it appears to be on the US side of the pond, this movie is beyond awful.
As a study of footballs (soccer) gang culture it pales by comparison with everything else from The Football Factory to ID but even worse, as a study of England it is just the latest in a long line of American movies and TV shows which portray England via a series of bizarre locations, dreadful overacting and appalling accents. Oh yes, the accents. Charlie Hunnam in particular will go down as one of the worst cockney accents of all time although to be fair, the laughable dialogue hardly helps his cause.
Similarly, the storyline is just dreadful. Clearly worked around the desire to find distribution in the US (which failed) and secure the services of a big name star (which worked although one has to wonder what Woods was doing when he chose this role) it's movie making by numbers and it simply doesn't work.
Much of the blame for this farce must lie at the feet of the director Lexi Alexander. The early departure of the English writer Dougie Brimson due to a rumoured disagreement about changes she made to the screenplay cannot have helped her cause but that is no excuse. She should be thoroughly ashamed of herself because she had a golden opportunity to produce a cult movie and instead, delivered a turkey. Even more so because she claims to have once been a part of this culture. Yeah right. And I'm a Chinaman.
Avoid this movie like the plague and rent Alan Clarke's stunning film 'The Firm' to see how it should be done.
